It makes all the difference, doesn’t it, whether we’re running away from or towards something?

 

One feels like friction, the other like invitation. 

One feels like failure licking at our heels, the other like movement itself is a win. 

 

I slow to a walk beneath the cloudless sky, pondering a question: When have I been the one running from something?

 

From a decision I didn’t want to make.

From conflict I’d rather avoid.

From a yes that felt too costly.

From a necessary no that could disrupt the peace.
