I have no idea how long I will live. No idea at all. I could live to a ripe old age or I could be taken out earlier in a multitude of inconvenient ways. I may not be able to choose the length of my life but I can choose it's width. That choice is mine. I could go through life along the narrow path to the inevitable - head down.....only seeing what's right in front of me, never wandering off track.
Or.....I could choose to live wide.....head up - arms spread wide, gathering as much of life as I can along the way.
I choose wide.
