Marathons are perfect symbols for much of how we live our lives--requiring, as they do, natural ability, endurance, conditioning, strategy and no small amounts of courage and luck in addition to just the right amount of speed, sort of like our political process, except for all the qualities I just listed.
This has nothing to do with the Boston Marathon or anything that anyone is going through except that it's a beautiful thought wrapped in a delightful melody, magically executed. Everyone should have someone who inspires them to feel this way; I hope you, too, have someone like this.
