Stand Still

When you want to run from your feelings, stand still.  When you want to hide from a situation, stand still.  Breathe.  You are in this situation for a reason.  The fact that you want to run is a giant neon sign blinking, “Lesson!  Lesson!”  Deal with it now by standing still and breathing slowly until you can hear, feel, or in any way sense something greater than the frightened, or angry, or uncomfortable self, or run away until you encounter the same situation in a different guise.  Face your inner demons and you will see they were never anything but thoughts.  What is real remains:  Love, unmoving, which is why you must stand still to know it.
