Running

When I am out running* and I see another runner.

I don't know how far they have run, or how far they have yet to go.

I don't know if they are experienced, or if they are a novice.

I don't know if they are running for distance, or speed.

I don't know if their effort is easy and manageable, or if they are struggling and the run is taking everything they got.

I don't know why they run.

So I just accept that they are also out running just like me.

That I should just cheer them on and wish them the best without judgement, as I myself keep plugging along with my run.

*Running is a metaphor for life.
