“I run my life or is it running me, run from my past
I run too fast or too slow it seems."
Run to You by Lady Antebellum
This
week from Write on Edge, we had the choice of three Olympic-inspired prompts. I chose sprinting (because my
daughter was a sprinter and competed often in the 100m events):
The
100 Meter Sprint
100 words
on a conflict, competition, or game.
**************************************
I
just can’t get the pace right. My life’s.
My personality is more like a sprinter, but I long for that of long distance runners.
At times.
I
have fast twitch muscles of the mind. It runs races with itself, mostly.
Leaving me exhausted and depleted much of the time.
Sometimes reacting instead of creating; responding rather than initiating.
With years of practice, I’ve earned copious awards and rewards.
Experiences are plentiful.
I’m
not running from anything but towards…
Living
the slow life.
It’s
all I dream of…
Hearing a soft whisper,
“Slow
down. You’re moving way too fast.”
