Philosophy and Art both render the invisible visible by imag

Summary

This quote suggests that both philosophy and art have the ability to give form and substance to abstract and intangible ideas through the power of imagination. They provide a means to explore and comprehend concepts that cannot be perceived directly by the senses. Whether through philosophical concepts or artistic creations, both disciplines allow us to make the invisible aspects of life, such as emotions, beliefs, or abstract theories, visible and tangible, enabling us to better understand and appreciate the complexity and beauty of the world around us.

Every run is a work of art, a drawing on each day's canvas. Some runs are shouts and some runs are whispers. Some runs are eulogies and others celebrations. When you're angry, a run can be a sharp slap in the face. When happy, a run is your song. And when your running progresses enough to become the chrysalis through which your life is viewed, motivation is almost beside the point. Rather, it's running that motivates you for everything else the day holds.
