Charting Courses

Today at 10:35 a.m., I made a choice, charting a new course.

On the surface, nothing changed. I was hesitant and anxious about it, but I followed through.

At 6:02 p.m., I reconsidered the choice, but stayed the course.

I had thought about undoing my first choice. Scared of what might be stirring beneath the surface. I didn't want to rock the boat.

At 7:56 p.m., the boat rocked. I secured my course with some more choices.

I was scared. The boat was now rocking. I couldn't undo my choice, so I had to reinforce it with a few more.

Now, 30 minutes later, my boat is hopefully heading to calmer waters. Maybe I can find somewhere to dock, get my feet on some solid ground before I have to go out again.
