Running Away


For a long time I carried with me the doubt that maybe all my motivations exists because I was fleeing from something. Now I realize that there was reason to this doubt.

I took great and difficult decisions, chosen tortuous and uncertain paths, I took chances and risks to loose all that I had to "hear" the certainty from my heart. And yes, I was running.

Running away from everything that is not worth it, running away from what is superfluous, illusion, unreal. Escape from what is materialism, which is systemic and soulless, running away from what does not make sense, what is not love and sharing, gratitude and affection. Escape what is addiction, what is abuse, which is a lie. Escape from what is worthless, that adds nothing to the heart and life, the evolution and love. 

I am not the money that I make, I'm not the things I buy, I'm not the clothes I wear, the way I look and I'm neither the house where I live. I'm not the work I do, the job I have, the bag that I carry.

The paths and choices that I took, I took on behalf of something greater for me - what I am and what I can be. Something that can not be negotiated, not exchange, not for sale. I "Lost" everything to "gain" myself – How much more I need to "lose", how much more I need to "escape"? As much is required. Always.
