I just went for a run with Karen and Arn.
We ran down the road for a bit. Then we saw a little set of stairs going downhill on the right...
So we turned away from the main road and ran down through a village.
doko doko doko doko... our feet hit the steps in sync.
My heart was bursting with awe.
After running through the village, we found ourselves at a little bay-the ocean lay before us. We were standing on volcanic rocks that had been weathered by the elements.
We could see crystal clear water, small puffer fish, and a cave. We went to look in the cave, a boat drifted into view... and then we turned around and ran back through the village, up the stairs, and back to the road.
Then we found another set of stairs... less regular... leading up through a dark bamboo grove... up to a cave and shrine.
I am in a dream.

Wow! I'll have to visualize YOUR run as I'm running past the Newton city dump this weekend. --Sheilarae
Nice imagery... with a little effort, you could massage this into a poem - maybe a haiku! Hmmm, 5-7-5 syllable pattern, I can't resist trying:
