Running is doing
We seem to live in a world disconnected from our actual work. We know our car needs oil so, we take it in to be serviced. We hire people to do the tasks which we cannot or will not do. We can be separated by the act of learning, the tactile sense that we need by doing. During the course of our day, our "doing" consists of the inactive moving of data from place to place. We miss the act. The world is one big GUI (Graphic User Interface). That is why the act of moving ones body is so necessary and so hard. We learn through the doing, not the reading or thinking of the act. We learn about our body through using it. This can be hard if we know so little about it. We go to a doctor for every injury and illness, much in the same way we go to a mechanic. The mechanic knows the inner workings of things. We have to learn or relearn how our body works by the act of doing. Get out and there and enjoy the pains and successes and failures. They are teaching us something about our bodies that we can only get through doing.
