If the wall is inside of you, I hope that breaking it in one pursuit opens up possibilities in everything that you apply yourself to.
Could you check if that's a Chinese proverb? I feel like it's Dutch. And I also want to issue a clarification on behalf of all butterflies. They have been given a bad rep by humans for no fault of theirs. For all you know, they're very focused in their flitting from one flower to another. It is the same thing--nectar--they want :)
Ajay,I read your article today and was reminded of the years and days when I had to nudge you to focus. It was painful for me too, to do that, as your mother!
I liked your thoughts woven around running and especially the 'walls'! keep up writing.
You make running sound like a lot of fun! I would imagine that crossing the wall would give anyone a sense of fulfillment and achievement. I will keep your words in mind when I get hit during my next boxing class. We all have our walls. So cheers to breaking them!

Thanks mom! And yes, those were the days!

Just loved this essay, @Ajay!
Extremely lucid and packed with insights. I’m not about to start running soon, but every other long distance project comes to mind as I read this.
Heartfelt salute to your “butterfly mind” 🦋
Natasha, so lovely to get this response from you. Thanks a lot!
