When you all you have left is running away, think again

Ever feel like you want to run away, but it wouldn't be fast enough? Just to feel the wind pass your face harsher than it would be while strapped to a jet plane high in the atmosphere. Maybe you would hop on a bike and hope that the thrill of getting away in your heart would transfer to the energy you need to push in your legs. Push...and glide...push...and glide. Or maybe one jump in freezing cold Lake Michigan will revive you from the dull routine of your day. At the same time of thinking about your great escape you look at the table around you with books and people scattered around you, not one could compare to the amount of stress or anxiety you claim as your feet bounce up and down. Is it possible to feel permanently content and at rest?

An hour later you may find yourself walking around to get away from your problems, possibly making that quick fix escape you have planned so carefully in your mind when suddenly you run into a familiar face. It isn't someone you know but the facial expression is familiar; so familiar that you could have sworn you've seen it before today. Slowly you begin to understand that it is yours, your facial expression. All of us have problems and obstacles, some harder than others at different times of our lives but there is one thing we should realize - that many have the same pains and there is a chance to feel that rush of onward to infinity if we find eachother who are also willing to begin running to the answers.
