The Leap

Life meanders on, and on the whole it is accepted as good. Whatever state it is considered to be it ‘might’ be better, what if this, what if that? Can we ever tell how a bright spark of a thought can lead to decisions that could in turn lead to an irreversable change in fortunes for better or for worse? A cascade of events that spiral out of control that can lead to the depths of torture or the heights of ecstasy. What makes one man take the leap and another not? Of course it is seldom a leap and more a gradual slither on ones behind, testing out the depth of the leap that when it comes is no more than a small but telling drop, or conversely a scramble back up to the starting place in case of nerve loss. Getting to the drop off ones former life involves little bother but that irreversable ultimate move unleashes all the contents of Pandoras Box and the new life begins.

Carpe Diem.
