Day 8: Don't Quit

RUN THE RACE~
we are told.
But what if you don't like to RUN
and you do not like to RACE~
do you have to
RUN THE RACE?
Oh yes.
"Let us RUN..."*
But RUNNING is hard.and I will sweat.
"Let us RUN THE RACE with endurance and active persistence..."*
But I have no energy left.
But you have no choice because
"the RACE that is set before us"*
Ugh.
There is a RACE
for you & me & everyone else
that is so personalized
that no one else can RUN your RACE
but only you.
You can sit and be still and look at your sneakers
or you can get up
