Megan's prayer: Last Day's "Picking up the Pieces of the Lives We Left Behind"

Together we can run away
To a place that seems so far away.

I had a friend who "ran away" on night. She was dealing with a lot of change in her life, and all she really wanted to do was get away and go play on a playground. As innocent as that could have been, the playground her and her boyfriend ran away to was in Michigan. At 1am, they just got in their car, and drove to Michigan. I don't think anyone was too happy with this, she got in quite a bit of trouble, but in a small way, I envy her. There are so many times I have felt that it would just be easier to run away.

Although it isn't Michigan that I get to run away to, I feel like I am able to live these lyrics out every week. I have the chance to "run away" every week during my Holy Hour with Chris. The little chapel at St. Cletus really becomes a place that seems so far away. It is at those times that I can clear my mind, de-stress, and focus on what is truly important in my life.
