Why are you always trying to escape?

Is this moment not good enough for you?

You’d rather find things to do instead of being still.

You’d rather think instead of quieting the mind.

You’re always chasing the next thing while never being satisfied with what is right here right now.

You’re always escaping the moment through your actions or thoughts.

Why?

Why is it so hard to just be still and not worry about anything?

Why is it so hard to quiet the mind and not want anything?

Become aware that you spend every moment of your life trying to escape the moment.

This awareness only leads to the realization that there is nowhere to run.

You are forever stuck in this moment.

So you might as well make it your home.
