What if ..

I remember an old friend told me once,
while we discussed the merits of a prospective
career move, she said to me "You don't take risks."
And rightfully so.
Rightfully, because I'm the sureshot artist.
Sigurista.
I'll go for the sure thing.
If it has even the most miniscule
evidence of uncertainty, a shadow of doubt,
so to speak.. then forget it.
It's not worth the risk.

What is worth the risk?
Much has been lost because of risk.
It's hit and miss.
Touch and go.
They say..
life is the same.
And you've never truly lived,
unless you've risked.
I, for one, do not prescribe
to this notion.

Until now.

Maybe it's about time.
I begin living.
And take a risk.
