There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. but mostly i run because i am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. so, too, are you. find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.

More From George A. Sheehan

Saint augustine cries, lord i cannot love you, but come in and love yourself in me. according to saint paul, we must put off our own natural form and put on the form of god, and saint augustine tells us to discard our own mode of nature; then the divine nature will flow in and be revealed. saint augustine says, those who seek and find, find not. he who seeks and finds not, he alone finds. saint paul says, what i was, was not i, it was god in me.
