Expressions of Truth.

Its always a nice feeling to, by sheer coincidence reach out and actually come into contact with some reading which is so close to heart. I clipped out an exerpt from Dr. George Sheehan's book "Running and Being", a passage which contents had immediately synchronised with my thoughs and the power of its speech resonate through my body and straight into my bones, uneffortlessly blending its essence into myself. Its this feeling when you already have patches of such same sentiments only for a great being to summarise and masterfully poise it into a bitesized bits of words to be appreciated, and for you to share to those you love around .....

"But I must wait. Wait and listen. Only through inner stillness can we reach the miraculous intelligence that we all possess. When truth finally strikes, the brief, blinding illumination tells me what every writer eventually learns: To write the truth, you must first become the truth. The mystery of all this is that I must let it come to me. If I seek it, it will not be found. If I grasp it, it will escape. Only through complete nonattachment, only by existing purely in the present, will I find the truth. And where truth lies, I will also find the sublime and the beautiful, laughter and tears, joy and happiness. All this, of course, defies logic. But so does life. We live, then explain things after the fact, and imperfectly." - Dr George Sheehan.
