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.
