Where Would You Go?

niallprideaux

I came to a forked crossroad with a signpost holding two signs simply pointing to ‘Left’ and ‘Right’. Looking left, I saw a destination in the distance and immediately knew where the path would end, but looking right... The path continued down into a clearing, submerging in trees in some areas and rising into the mountains before vanishing. There was smoke rising on the other side like a snake against the sunrise.

    I like this...the path that forks right appeals to me...sounds intriguing and interesting.

    You could go right, if you don't end up going up in smoke! lol. A happy birthday write too, I see. Best wishes Niall! May you always choose the right path (I mean correct, or wise path) through life.

        Niall, this is a perfect metaphor about choice. Do we opt for the familiar, or are we adventurous and choose the unknown? I would guess that most of us here would go right.
