A new calling.
A leap into the unknown.
A hand held for life.
A city not yet learned—
none of it begins with a plan.
The moment comes.
The blood brightens.
You set your teeth,
step through the door—
and the whole world turns.
Only the little things
ask to be considered forever:
what to eat,
what to buy,
where to spend an afternoon.
I carried those words for years
until living made them true.
So, friends—
do not linger at the threshold.
The things that change a life
rarely knock twice,
and never wait
for you to be ready.
