Running from the Pain

I have been running most of my life from something very painful in the past. I have run in all sorts of ways. Sometimes conscious of the running, oftentimes unconscious of it. But running, running, running. Hoping somehow if I run fast enough and far enough away I can undo what happened to me. Never successfully, of course. Running from truth never undoes truth. The most it can do is make us avoid truth. But the truth remains.

Running myself ragged and wearing myself out, yes I have done...
