What would you do if you were asked something out of the blue? 

Would you consider it? 

I was asked to do a five kilometre run on Sunday.  

A run run. 

A kind of run that racers do.  

And I said ‘yes’! 

Just like that.  

Because I can.  

No hesitation. 

No fear.  

No worries about not being the fastest, or most ‘gazelle-like’.  

I said ‘yes’ because I can.  

Free.  

To do. 

To rest. 

To say yes or no.  

Freedom to be. 

Me.
