… thinking sometimes the right time chooses us, not the other way around … i try not to second guess my embracing or grabbing hold of someone/thing, likewise when i let go – seems regret feels worse than accepting i will never know 😉 i liked the contrast of the ride, but also the unspoken contrast against ‘before’ – what was left to the imagination there was interesting …

Thanks so much for your thoughts. We think a lot alike. I like that you mentioned the unspoken parts.

Perfect bliss. “…hair a comet’s tail” I can really see this. And how with the extreme cold your heightened senses would lead you to experience this. The cold certainly sharpens awareness and is inviting in its own mysterious way.

I love this image you created. The last line really resonated with me. It just reminded me of all the fears we have about things, all the chances we never take, and then most times we take them and we wish he had done it sooner. It’s a motivating poem you’ve created here. I needed to read something like this today! Thank you!

And thank you so much for reading it. And yes. We should take those chances more often, be willing to be vulnerable and maybe get hurt.

You’re right. If there is no chance of getting hurt with it maybe it’s not as worth it as we might think.
