July Hibernation
Great piece MLCM (I mean the article, not the hair). It will take some digesting, I think.

My own spiritual quest (other than running) has taken the form of a long and inconclusive dalliance with Christianity. I spend much of my time going around in circles. Another parallel with running...

One immediate comment is on that Tao chap - "Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery / By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real." Surely that can only be a short-term thing? To me, if you take aware desire, then there's nothing left to life - whether you see humans as spiritual beings, or just jumped-up animals.

In fact it's a paradox - because the desire to free yourself from desire is itself a... you can see where I'm going. But then again, I find that most philosophies are paradoxical in some way.

I look forward to seeing what the heavyweight thinkers* of RC have to say on this one.
