Fast as Lightning

Hmm, tonight was Artist Series, so at 7:30pm I got all dressed up and met some friends on the steps of the Student Center and to Hughes to listen to the Merling Trio (Piano, Cello, Violin). It was beautiful and free:). Yay for Asbury doing free cultural stuff.

After the concert though, I really wanted to run, so around 10:30pm I just left my dorm and sprinted an entire mile -it took me less than 6 minutes- and then quickly jogged another. I never run that fast unless I am upset or bothered. Even then, I only run that fast once -maybe twice- a year. I'm not sure what set it off, but I guess I've just been in a lonely funk the last few days. I just took off and within a few steps, I felt like my legs were going so fast that I looked like sonic the hedge hog when goes into that hyper mode and his legs just look like a swirling blur.

I know I've described the sensation before, but it feels like if I can just go fast enough, I could run out of my earthly body, escape my emotions and desires, get away from everything and just be free, a soul w/o a box to keep it tied down.

I suppose it has something do with suppressed emotions, wanting a good hug, missing home, stress from school, and just feeling out of control in general.
