Your body is a wonderland

Sometimes while running I feel like my body is a machine. My breathing is strong and perfectly rhythmic, the muscles in my legs are contracting and expanding, my chest is moving up and down, my hair is flying behind me, and my heart is like the powerful engine that is powering this performance machinery. I get visions of the type that they show you in car engine lubricant ads – the piston moving up and down, the liquid flowing throughout the engine, the powerful output that it produces. I feel my blood getting pumped throughout my body, my heart working like a powerful, efficient engine, all parts of the body in a state of heightened alertness and awareness, the whole body moving forward like a efficient car.

And when I finish running, I am completely spent and just about manage to crawl back home. At the end of my run, I put my hand on my heart and feel it thumping loud and clear. It is a very reassuring beat. It is not a frantic beating of the heart, but rather a rhythmic pumping of the heart – loud, strong and steady. And it feels good to hear that thumping (it feels like u can hear if u place your hand on your heart). In fact it reminds me of my bullet days and gives me that same kind of tranquillity as the steady powerful thumping of the bullet engine. Maybe that is why it sounds so good – the thumping – it somehow reminds us of the beating of our mother’s heart when we were in her womb.

I wish I had someone to share this with. I wish I could come home, take her hand and place it in my heart and feel the thumping of my heart through the feel of her hand on my chest. And she would feel the steady beating of my heart and feel the heat emanating from my body. And just for that moment we would be one, united by the steady thump-thump of my heart and her body would fold into mine irrespective of the sweat that I have worked up by that time. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have sex at that moment. Would it be an out of the world mind-blowing experience because of the already heightened state that my body is in? Would the heat from my body make her hot and drive her crazy? Or would I be just too tired to perform?

Our body is truly the best gift that God has given us, and it is our sacred duty to use it in every possible way. Explore the horizons of your body. Don’t waste your body.

I really like this post. It is genuinely a literary post rather than a crib-session or ramble that most of us fall into in our blogs. Keep up the good work!

i have also felt like this with the pistons and engine oil and all. with me its more of the breathing than the thumping. when i am running its the steady breath that captures my attention.i sometimes feel like the angry bull about to charge as they show in cartoons. with whiffs of smoke like breath coming from my nostrils.

maybe i liked this one because it was something i could identify with (as opposed to some of the other stuff that you wrtie).

i got the feeling tha tyou were imagining her sitting at home waiting to feel your heartbeat. why isnt she there with you running in the lonely forest covered trail. and after that you can have sex with her in the forest.

incidentaly that is one of my fav fantasies. having sex with a woman in the forest. woudl work much better if its drizzling. perhaps near a stream.

offcourse all this would be away from the click of digital cameras and instant online stardom. that woudl be nightmare. i can see the title of the video already: jangal mein mangal.
