Greetings! And…I have so much from which to run! Whew… I actually gasped after the last word! There are screaming stones, bowing mountains, and climbing or hiding souls in you one inspired line. I hear cheers…with my voice amongst them, xoxo

Ah, Sally, I'm so happy the epigram resonated with you. Always wishing you the best.

Sometimes I run the hardest from things that would have been the best for me, so this makes sense.

I think we all do that from time to time, Caren. Generally, though, we do not recognize it until we can look back on it.

Good advice Milton but in the heat of the moment we don't always make the right choice. Tom

True, Tom. Welcome back from Italy. Good to see your face!

hmm... know which the best way is to go is not always an easy choice.

That is so true, Jenna. Sometimes it requires a lot of soul-searching. Sometimes, too, running toward something good is running away from something bad.
