poem

Yesterday I read this poem, Advice, by Robert Crawford, in the TLS:

When you are faced with two alternatives
Choose both. And should they put you to the test,
Tick every box. Nothing is ever single.
A seed's a tree a ship's a constellation.
Nail your true colours to this branching mast.
END QUOTE/POEM

Nothing is every single-- Lynn Ruth writes a story and now she's doing stand-up. I used to think that life was all about choosing and selecting carefully but with that attitude you only live half a life. Life is about being receptive to the things that pull at your heart. Intuition is more foolproof than reason and following your intuition will lead you to the true colors of your destiny and dream. It takes courage to live like that and I am still learning because it also takes work and patience, but it's worth the journey.
