I like the imagery you’ve used – one path (the new and unknown, the risk) is rough and hot, imagine walking on bare feet on such terrain – the other path familiar, cool, which is how our lives can become – cool, comfortable, easy, secure, safe. I’m reminded of when we do tend to go barefoot – we don’t tend to do it in new, risky or unknown situations but do tend to do it when we’re home and comfortable and safe so I think it’s a nice analogy. I like the imagery of “she glances behind” and then “takes a step”. <BR/><BR/>Very nicely done. <BR/><BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
