Happy national running day.
The Camp Song//Peter Katz
How can I explain
What I take away
When the autumn falls
And we go our separate ways
What is it exactly
How can I describe
All that I discovered
By that firesideSome things aren’t defined
Some things they’re just right‘Cause it’s more than the green of trees
It’s more than the summer breeze
The smell of rocks and water
Washing over me
It’s more than the orange fire
It’s more than the fishing wire
It’s more than the cabin walls
Or that morning bugle call
It’s something you can’t touch
But you can hold so dearLying in that field
Sleeping with the sky
Something bound between us
Without us knowing whyFrom that moment on
Nothing could undo
The feeling of belonging
That would always be trueSome things don’t need words
Some things they just work‘Cause it’s more than the green of trees
It’s more than the summer breeze
The smell of rocks and water
Washing over me
It’s more than the orange fire
It’s more than the fishing wire
It’s more than the cabin walls
Or that morning bugle call
It’s something you can’t touch
But you can hold so dear
And maybe it’s not much
But it’s I’ll be back next year(Oh it won’t be long
‘til the summer comes)
Some things don’t need words. They’re just right.

No time for anything else. Thank goodness for summer.

Olympic Stadium, London, August 4, 2012. Minutes before the race of my life, the finals of the men’s 10,000 meters. I wasn’t running. I was a spectator. Below, taking their places, were two runners I’d spent years coaching. I couldn’t help but marvel at the peace I felt inside.
Sometimes there are no words. Only music.
This video is a song written in response to recent tragedies. Also these young ladies are freshman at my alma mater St. Ursula.
In moments of great inhumanity, it is the miracle of God’s love that our true humanity, what most makes us the people God created us to be, crowds out the darkness. In the end, it is our love for another that shines most brightly.
