OH, that is good! Standing at the crossroads. Everything familiar behind you. Only the unknown ahead. Will it be good or bad? Will I gain entrance or be denied. VERY compelling, OB!
Sometimes we go for the challenge with the only safety net being the trust that our past experiences prepare us for the unknown....
Testing one's own mettle! It's a GOOD thing to stare into the maw of the monster, remind yourself you're safe, stare into the maw again . . .
You had me from the first word: straddling. :-D
Beautifully written with just the right scent of leaf and log, of trail and trial. Have a great weekend OB.
Tres eloquent! And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
One of your best!
Tegaderm will carry on where experience falls short, er do they make Tegaderm for the soul?
wow, good one. Love that picture too.
Nice. I was right there wondering why and how I got there. I just haven't found that part of myself yet. Keep me on the open road and warn me about the bumps!
Podium!
Wheelie,
Tegaderm for the soul == Masala Mama IPA from Town Hall.
