Welcome to Sacred Steps, my personal journal of journeyings on mountains, trails and roads; in Wales, other parts of Britain and a few far-flung locations. Behind every outer journey, of course, there is an inner journey - for an insight into what I mean by that, take a look at my page on the Sri Chinmoy Centre web site.

As well as being a student of Sri Chinmoy, I am a keen member of the Sri Chinmoy A.C, a running club comprised of members of the UK Sri Chinmoy Centres. I'm lucky enough to work in the world of running too, as a staff member at Run and Become.

Well, enough about me, heres lots of stuff about places and races that have inspired me.

I SAW IN THE SILENCE

Sri Chinmoy

In the desert-silence
I saw God the Warrior.
In the forest-silence
I saw God the Lover.
In the mountain-silence
I saw God the Dreamer.
In the ocean-silence
I saw God the Awakener.
In the sky-silence
I saw God the Liberator.
