Quote from Broken Open, David Clark

“Pain is not permanent, though. Pain isn’t the law of thermodynamics. Pain is just a means of transportation. When pains arrives, it’s not there to destroy us; it’s there to take us to some place we need to go. Someplace far away from what threatens us. I think that’s why so many addicts become runners. We literally learn through running to ride the pain to places we never dreamt we could go, places where hope lives. Where second chances reign supreme. Where people travel across countries to support strangers. Places like here, where our happiness can become so overwhelming that it can’t be contained. And where even running in place can get you all the way to a new life.”
