My life is a lazy river. When I float in the flow, it guides me.

One day, on a dare, I surrendered to the current. I raced my pulse and won.

--But to tell the truth, it took me faster than I could handle. So, I took back control.

Later, on a double dare, I waded back into the moment. Swirling bubbles rushed in to elevate me.

--But to tell the truth, they took me higher than I could handle. So, I grounded myself again.

Returning, on a triple dare, I poured myself out into the river. Each droplet returned and brought many friends.

--But to tell the truth, they took me deeper than I could handle. So, I cut off the supply.

I intend to stop telling the truth.
