Running on the pavement as cars zoom pass, drivers aiming for their destinations as you create your destination. The path you are running appears in your mind as every step you land. Ascending breathing rhythms, lungs burning, water droplets forming, appearing on the surface of your forehead and arms. Infront of you, sees a path sheltered with brunches from tress afar. Underneath it you paced yourself. Grass fields under your feet, the breeze encourage you with occasional push. With no aim or destination you run, run for your body and the mind. You came to a crossroad, a decision to choose this or that way. You let your legs carry you for it is the only organs actively in movement.
Thighs muscles ache as you climb up the stairs. Edge of the stairs, on each platform being interrupted by growing flowers and moss. Every step up, every strength you use requires the need to focus for below is the highway to end destination. As you sight your top, the bright lights bring your senses to alert mode. Once you reached the top, speed decreases as your mind starts to race. Proportionally. the linear line on the graph describing the movement of your legs and your mind plots itself a perfect line. Eventually, the line stop. The bridge, you stand on, being built by workers, the pebble that was placed, one by one, the concrete that glues them together, feels grounded.
The slow growth of living plants in contrast with the speeding of the cars below, the darkening of the skyline in comparison with the lit up street lights. The Theory of Heat state that molecules are in constant motion. The greater the temperature, the greater the kinetic energy and thus the faster the molecules are moving. Your fast beating heart, the vast difference to a morbid case of entropy as you let yourself fall as you hit the ground. In just a few seconds, the heart is in another state. Understanding physics, as the state of water changes to solid, it allows it to changes back to liquid. However, this is not physics. This is the road to heaven.
