Glint

Why do some people take chances and others play it safe? Why do many enjoy the risks and reward of the larger world while others cringe and cling to the known? Life comes in such variety, such complexity. Why do some blossom under the light of the sun while others shrink away and shrivel? Sometimes I see the outside, exchange a smile, smell the grass that grows along the road, and for a moment I hesitate. Sometimes I do not want to go back to my safe little world.
