Oh, the dreaded compost pile!

When I was a kid I so dreaded the times mom would ask me to take out the after-dinner scraps to the backyard compost pile. ANYTHING! Anything but the compost pile! That 50-yard dash from the backdoor to that dirt pile against the fence in PITCH dark was the spookiest place on earth. I just knew the boogieman was gonna catch me!

Did the boogieman exist? Was he real? You BET he was...in my mind!

 

We think that we're running from something "out there". But in truth we're only on the run from something "in here", that part of us that we never want to face.

We're all running from something and toward something else. The thing we run from is our boogieman. That belief left over from long, long ago that still screams to us about how not up-to-snuff we are. It drives our day...and month...and life! It's the belief about ourselves that keeps us from participating fully and earnestly in our play, in our career, in our love.

"You're so stupid" is what the little girl carried into her adult life. It shows up around every corner as she keeps her mouth shut during intellectual conversations and as she avoids places or people who remind her of her intelligence (or lack of), and as she slams her husband who says anything that hits her button called "stupid". Her sister on the other hand who was told the same message became a student for life as she becomes obsessed with proving to the world that she's not stupid. Running from stupid, running toward smart...never ever able to catch up or outrun either.

"You're so skinny" were the cruel words that still ring in the mind of the woman who never thinks of herself as beautiful and it shows up in her choices of what she wears and how she thinks about herself and who she marries.

In the process of running from the monster
we can't smell the roses along the path.

"You'll never amount to anything" drives the young man to over-working, just to prove to the world that he will amount to something.
