A Beautiful Work In Progress

by Mirna Valerio

I love the experience of digging deep, pulling layer after layer off the onion that is me, discovering the most profound parts of myself over and over again.

I discovered what running really was then—moving unencumbered through the world on my own two feet.

There is still a beauty about simply doing the difficult thing that I will never be good at, for the pure pleasure of having engaged in the process.
