full circle

it is after 11 PM. i race to the gym for my last workout but the gate is pulled so i continue on to campus and walk circuits of the main building, indoors. 10-10-10. i reverse direction every ten minutes. without the treadmill i don't know my exact pace but use my heart rate as a guide. i smile, walking in circles here at CCA. right back where i started. but not quite. the nave is quiet & i feel a sense of peace. the humor is definitely here, and i enjoy the knowing, a deep knowing from the core: the absolute strength of all the training - my body knows, my mind knows.
