Life on the run was filled with dreams, some at night during sleep, real dreams, and some when the mind was awake but drifting. Most were terrifying, the nightmares of the shadows growing bolder and larger. Others were pleasant wishes of a rosy future, free of the past. These were rare, Patrick had learned. Life on the run was life in the past. There was no closure John Grisham
About This Quote

During his time on the run, Patrick wrote down his dreams and the things he wanted to do in his life. Then, he would re-live those dreams and wishes when he was awake. He found that all of these things were tied to the past and could not be achieved while running from it. He had to face his past and take control of the future before he could achieve anything.
