Sometimes, going nowhere is a good thing.

A Man Just Running in Place Ron AI Running in Place It's good to leave the rat race, get out of that crazy pace, no longer windmills chase, simply just running in place. No need to go off far, by plane, boat or car. No need to experience more, don't even have to leave the door. Have memories enough for that, to know just where I'm at. Running in circles not for me, just running in place where I'll be. Copyright 2024 © Ronald W. Hull 10/17/24 You can read this poem and print it at my website here.

I agree, I run in place too and I am contented to be where I am in life. Wonderful and thought provoking poem, Ron.

I know those feelings, all of them. Guess that's because I've done them all at one time or the other.

Well penned.

Oh I like this one very much, Ron! I identify with this 100%. �Have memories enough for that,� � exactly! Deep appreciation for that fact. Wish more people in my own circle could understand this concept�.but�alas, they are too young. Haha. . . keep writing and I�ll keep reading (even though I fall below the radar pretty often anymore). ~~ djl

This poem offers a refreshing take on finding peace and contentment within oneself, rather than constantly chasing after external goals or ambitions. The simple, rhythmic structure complements its theme of stepping away from the rat race and embracing a quieter, more introspective existence. The use of repetition in "running in place" creates a soothing, meditative tone, reinforcing the message that fulfillment can be found in stillness. The poem encourages readers to reflect on the value of contentment and inner peace, making it a thoughtful and calming read.

Yes, there is much to be said for the benefits of allowing the body, mind and heart to climb upon one's private treadmill and let the going nowhere to show you everywhere you've been and are now. I think there are many of us finding such a change in our desires and needs. I had a somewhat similar experience last night with my dreams, in which I had to get on my own treadmill and work out its meaning. For me, your kind of theory of being right where you need to be as perfect. It is a saving grace for those of the same ilk... plenty of time to reflect.
