Exploring Happiness #4- Running Poem by June Stepansky

Exploring Happiness #4- Running



We run in
different directions
to escape from
our inner demons.
We run to travel,
drugs, music, religion.
We run to running.
We even run to poetry.

Inevitably,
our demons outrun us,
and we must confront them
face to face.





Problems do not disappear. If we don’t confront them, they may hide for a while, but sooner or later they will re-appear. Eventually we will be forced to face them and take some action.
Whether that action is in the form of solving the problem or accepting it is not important, but rather that we consciously come to a decision about what we are going to do.
It is that decision that gives us the ability to again move forward in our lives with added strength and the possibility of happiness.

The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.
