The power of clarity

​The remarkable power of clarity is a guiding light through the fog of complexity. 

I've always held deep admiration for those who possess the remarkable ability to communicate with a crystalline clarity, unraveling intricate subjects and presenting them in simple words, metaphors, actions, and experiences that resonate with minds untrained in the field.

The Personal Trainers who coached me in the past couple of weeks embody this capacity, seamlessly blending it with a composed and precise execution of movements, a pleasure to witness. Similarly, the hosts and guests on the podcasts I tuned into, whether delving into scientific topics or matters of human behavior, embodied their topics so profoundly that they painted vivid images and emotions in my mind.

In addition to their proficiency in language and an extensive vocabulary, a shared foundation of such lucid communication appears to be the "embodiment" of the subject matter. They all seem to be embracing it physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

During this morning's running group session, I had a similar experience of this "embodiment". 
As I led the group through warm-up drills, working on the core base principles of running form, I found myself sharing insights about running form from a place beyond mere informational exchange. I found myself reaching into somewhere that unites the mind and body, stepping into the shoes of a proficient runner with impeccable running form. Which I am certainly not, far from it actually. But in my mental vision and physical sensation, I was in perfect harmony, somehow capable of describing it.

This realization took me by surprise, for I was simultaneously coaching and being coached by my own words, as if they had a life of their own.

I wonder if my words and perspective resonated with others as deeply as they resonated with me. 
And yet, even if they did not, that is ok. I understand that someday, they might. In the same way this very morning, the thousands of hours and kilometers I've ran, the extensive dialogues with coaches, physiotherapists, fellow runners, along with all the books and articles and videos I've consumed, all converged in a feeling I could attune myself to.

Perhaps this encapsulates the essence of truly "getting it".
