Sometimes, and sometimes, just as I try to doze on a sofa, when I have nothing demanding to do and I have time when I can while away some time alone -
Sometimes like that, I find my mind wandering, I find myself wondering
"What if?"
I examine the sliding doors The life choices The milestones that mark past crossroads.
And I story-tell, I dream-walk I wander down roads not travelled.
And from that sofa I wonder if I might now just about see the next significant junction on my horizon.
And in that wonder moment, I promise the Makers of my turnings that, this time, I'll be more adventurous I'll trust Them more. I'll take the road that carries a little more risk, a little less certainty.
I pledge to not roadmap my journey, at least not quite as much as I typically do. And I will entrust the future into the more capable hands of those who have no need for What ifs.
I can trust the Makers, for they know what lies ahead. They have been there and they can each see way more than I can from my sofa.
