- I run to escape.
- I run to reflect.
- I run because without a language or creed I join a brotherhood of Kenyans, Chinese, South Africans, Brazilians, and the native chasing his food in the remote jungle.

Run well, my brother.
ReplyDeleteI'll run if there is a bear chasing me. Otherwise, I'll stay back and hold the sofa down so it won't float away. It's a difficult job but one I am prepared for.
