"We do not escape into art,
philosophy and psychology--
we go there to restore our
shattered selves into whole
ones." ~Anais Nin
Anais Nin has always moved
me; such truth in this particular
bit of wisdom.
In looking at her missive, it
seems I've misunderstood the
term, escape.
It certainly is true that we all
run away at times, or should
I say, attempt to run?! Bottom
line, it doesn't help for long.
I particularly like the idea
of running to, rather than
running from, especially to
restore our souls.
'Tis an idea must be pondered
at length.
So praying for wisdom here . . .
