May 2007 - It All Starts Here
Sometimes you go out and have a spiritual experience on a run; you're lifted beyond the daily drudge, carried off on a swarm of endorphins to an altogether higher plane . . . and sometimes you just get out there and get the job done.
This morning was one of those utility numbers; out the door, two, three, four . . . into hills swathed in mizzle, rough wind bullying up from the south. I took a thorough soaking for a full fifty minutes, fuelled by some excellent stuff from Planet Rock. Track du jour has to be The Who's Love - Reign O'er Me, beautifully segued into Poison by Alice Cooper.
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach
Is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Layin' in the fields
No lovers layin' in these fields . . . but plenty of sweat.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
