I was enjoying a lesiurely barefoot run this week on a sunny afternoon. As I crossed the wooden plank bridge I could see the gravely trail ahead, there was a nice patch of thick grass next to the trail and I veered towards it. Five feet ahead I realized was a large brown garden snake and I was two strides from landing on it.
Aparently the snake was also aware of the impending collision I quickly pushed to the left and at the same time the snake headed for the same spot. Oh no! now as my foot hit the gound I pushed to the right. The snake had the same response. It seemed inevitable I was doomed to land on it. What happened next I can only relate to the dream I had the night before, you know the one where you realize that if you really concentrate you can rise up into the air and defy gravity? And thus by concentrating really hard, my body floated across several feet of open air before gravity noticed and quickly pulled me back to earth. (Safely past the snake)
