Quote by Harri Sirola

“Joskus tuntui etten olisi voinut löytää mitään täyttymystä ennen hautaa, sehän oli lopullinen päämäärä, muu oli vain välivaihetta, ja tammikuun alussa tunsin joutuneeni kokonaan tuon välivaiheen armoille, pelkäsin ylioppilaskirjoituksia ja olin ajanut itseni emotionaaliseen katastrofiin.”

“Long distance running is meditation. When I finish a long run, it’s like my brain has been washed. All the stress and negative thoughts are left somewhere on those long kilometers. At the end, the illusions of the past and future are removed from my mind, and it is set back to zero, so I feel I am totally in the present moment, reset, and ready to restart my life afresh.”
