option ...
they say
you can run
but you can’t
hide
since I’m no good
at running
there must be
another
option ...

Since this is a dog eat dog world, maybe emulating Gandhi wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Good thinking, good thinking ... I'll wait a few days to see what other options are suggested before implementing :)

Thanks Mel, agreed; better to be seen and at the same time be comfortable with it.

there's camouflage,
persiflage,

Yep, options abound when we step out of the box we construct for ourselves. :) Thanks again for commenting

When we have sufficient inner clarity to reach the "option-of-one", we are free - something I would like to experience more often. Thanks for commenting Whale.

I've never understood that line - why can't you hide, you may be world class at hiding - Ian tending to think that option 3 might be fighting back :-)
Cool write :-)

Nice lateral thinking. I like the idea of "world class hiding". But I'm wondering if "Those who fight and run away, live to fight another day" might fit in here somewhere. My fights are largely internal, and occasionally external (which I'm less good at). Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment.

Thank you Carpe_Noctem for reading and commenting; invisibility cloaking can be a useful skill sometimes :)
