Do you always turn right at every junction, split or T in the road?   Is it a practiced movement automatic, no thought, the usually safe choice?   I suggest every once in awhile take a left.   You can always double back if too uncomfortable or shocking or stick around and find something uplifting or awaiting a challenge.   equally possible as far as odds go   No matter what happens, I’m sure you won’t forget allowing your left foot a chance to choose new and hurry a heartbeat

when I was younger I could keep many balls in the air   a job, checkbook, relationships   shopping, car-maintenance  tennis, lunches   birthdays, trips   now, if I manage to catch one thing life throws my way I celebrate with a nap   rest up and get my strength back so I can worry about what’s coming next

aren’t sidewalks really for the very young and very old?   between those ages, you tweeners out there don’t need, shouldn’t need the hard well-worn path   your lives should machete a unique trail, uncover a new way, your way   there’ll be plenty of time to return to the safety of concrete,   when you’re satisfied with what you’ve found inside yourselves
