• Running is many things to me: survival, calmness, euphoria, solitude. It is proof of my corporeal existence, my ability to control my movement through space if not time, and the obedience, however temporary, of my body to my will.

This is what it is to abide under the shadow of the Almighty, and to hide under His wings until all dangers are past.

• I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was twenty six. Religion offered nothing to the point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction.

I was no longer a slave to the hands of the clock... I would like to communicate to others the calmness that the long view of life gives to us.
