In Between

Does he turn left or right, choose this one or that, go here or there? Do they stay up or down, in or out, over or under? So many choices, and they all have results. So many decisions, and they all have their costs and rewards. How ever shall one choose, and why does it always seem that there is a period of time when a person is “in between.”

The proverbial “y” in the road faces people every day. If he goes this way, then this will happen, and if she chooses that way, then that will happen. Now he or she stands for a moment, hours, days, months or sometimes years deciding which path to take. Robert Frost wrote: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”, and one supposes that his summation was appropriate for him, however, that may or may not be so for the reader. The one most traveled by may be the best choice. Independence is not always suitable direction.

Indifference has no stead, and indecision is a decision. Mobilization is necessary, and opportunities pass for those unwilling to venture. Soon a choice must be made, and rather than being stuck in life's bottleneck, judgment must be acted upon. Once the pathway is chosen, one sense of freedom lies on the other side. Besides, there is always the “y” that will be down the path that allows one to reverse, retract, and turn back again, or is there? There is only one chance for some things, so choose wisely. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
