The art of running away .

April 2nd, 2008

Today, I drove and drove. . .
I havn't really driven in a long time . . .
I mean I drive everyday to get me to a certain destination,
but today I drove in a different way ...

Well you see , if you know anything about my younger days,
you'd know that I have a tendacy to enjoy running away.
I think it's an amazing feeling.
the adventure,
the adrenaline,
the rushhhhh .

See, running away is not always a bad thing.
It's beautiful if it can accomplish something. . .

Sometimes people run away in search of something new ,
sometimes leaving something behind,
sometimes an amazing combination of both.

Most of the time we find out that what we've left behind is way greater than we thought .

People run away everyday,
maybe just to breathe? ,
or to find peace and tranquility? ,
or passion and excitement?

...Today , I drove.
A "running away" kind of drove .
At first I wanted to get lost . . .
I love getting lost, I love change , or an challenge .
Getting lost helps me because when I am lost physically,
I relate that to an uncertainty where I am also lost emotionaly.
Same goes to being lost spiritually, lost in Jesus , there is nothing like it.
and only then...
I feel balanced.
At that point, I can reach a level of deeper thinking.

But with my numerous amount of running away experiences,
one thing was always the same,I want to get lost ,
but then, at the end, I always end up at a place that is so familiar.

I was trying to find that place...
I just NEEDED that ocean ,
I NEEDED a sunset ,
I NEEDED the birds that make the most beautiful music I had ever heard,
but it wasn't here...

I get it now . .
running away isn't the same anymore,
it's ALL about running back .
