Tap in

​I am determined to truly listen — listen to the revelations my body and soul are eager to share. 
In recent months and weeks, I've neglected self-care, avoiding moments of stillness because, it is uncomfortable. My default has been to speed through life at 100 kilometers an hour, filling every gap with various forms of entertainment - work, training, chores, socializing, kids' activities, screens, music, podcasts, games, daydreaming, and even using sleep as a means to escape the act of sitting and listening.

Come this Friday, with the Coast to Kosci, I'll have 240 kilometers at my disposal for uninterrupted listening. Sure, a significant portion of the time will be spent catching myself as I tumble into the traps of my mind, down the rabbit hole of ego, fear, and my bag full of excuses and ways to divert my attention from the present moment.

Yet, that's the challenge within the challenge, an opportunity to unravel more layers. 
They say endurance races illuminate aspects of ourselves often buried deep within. For me, long gone is the illusion that this side must always be the strong side, fearless & painless, persistently moving forward. That's a side I can tap into at will because it's entirely within my control. What remains unexplored is everything else that exists without my own interference. That is the novelty. 

Let's go, KB, let's do it.
