You are adrift at sea with a hole in your boat There are two islands on the horizon in opposite directions one is closer than the other The closer island looks peaceful and safe but barren the soil is dry and there are few trees The further island looks beautiful A rainbow arcs over miles of forested mountains but you are not sure you can reach it and there may be mines in the water around it If you move toward either island the other will sink beneath the waves What do you do? Do you: A. [[Make a choice]] B. [[Cower in fear at the vast and unknowable future.]] You suffer the consequences.All things slip beneath the surface with the passage of time.
