Day 13…A Oneness-Family (June 30)
As Smarana heads into his 13th day on the course I ask him if he has had to once again change plans. I quiz him whether he is moved on from his first plan and started to skip through the various letters of the alphabet. He has been going through some major blister issues over the past few days.
“Well plan A always has to be elastic. Otherwise it is going to be tough here. If you stick to preconceived concepts”
“I would really like to speak about the oneness aspect of the race. Due to some technical problems we didn’t get any messages via the Marathon Team website. At least ones from Austria, I don’t know why. We didn’t get any messages so I just surrendered. I just let it go.”
“Then they started using a different web account and messages started to come. It made such a difference.”
“Sometimes you get lost in details. The lap becomes very small, your world. Then you have to broaden your perspective again. It was so helpful to get the messages. My helper (Horst) even had tears. It was a touching thing.”
