Crossroads

What if all he wants is the open road forever? What if all she wants is roots like a maple tree? What if they fall in love? The important moments of our lives are seldom given names. We name the meaningless times, and we ignore the important ones. They arrive with no fanfare, and they slip away unnoticed, and in those quiet spans between their comings and their goings, we make the tiny decisions that shape our lives. Decisions about what to pick up and what to put down, what to cling to and what to let slip. Which bridges to cross, and which ones to let the monsters chase us from. Whether to trust our minds or our fingertips.
