We cannot run for long. Oh we can run at a strategic moment such as when someone has a pistol pointed at us or when an animal is chasing us, but in the long term we cannot run from the things that are most present in our existence. I was reading Everyday Zen this morning and Joko Beck made a comment I really liked. “And as we get more sensitive to our life and what it truly is we can’t run away. We can try for awhile, and most of us will try for as long as we can. But we really can’t run indefinitely.” Yeah, I think that is right.
