Note to Self

It's about long distance running!

If you want to run far,

You need to develop

a relationship with pain.

Since it’s going to be there anyway,

you might as well get along.

You need stamina for that run. Take care. Hope the long run becomes more pain free as you go on.

Yar, well, actually I enjoy the pain up to a point, as well as the experience of making the impossible possible.

[Firebird]

:-) just enjoy then!

A lot said here in so few words. You might as well get along indeed. It will always be with us, so make it work for you. I like the title too, it fits really well.

[Zugzwang]

Yep. I do like to use images and metaphors that have double meanings. Here it's distance running and the inescapable pain you and I both know about.

[Another Mayfly]

That's very true. I always desire to run away but then I'm left with myself and there's no escape from that.

Thanks for your review. You certainly speak the truth and I can relate to what you are saying, having experienced this feeling myself. I am glad the poem spoke to you on such a deep personal level.
