Living Life is
driving downhill in a golf cart
but the only control you have
is a thread
tied to the steering wheel.
Living Life is
sitting cross-legged on a PE scooter
with only the reassurance of
the feel of a friend's hands
on your shoulders
that you will not
careen off course
or topple sideways.
Living Life is
Olympic curling
where the only control
over the course of the stone
resides in smoothing the ice
lying before it.
this encaptures the unpredictability but also the stability, the beauty and danger, and every other little cranny of life so well. how? i don't know, but you managed, and I am so glad to have read this.
