River of Time

If you could go back in time and change things…would you?Author, David Russell once said, “The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn.” But my dilemma was learning from which bridge to jump. No one with half a brain would ever believe that jumping off a bridge could in any way, shape, or form, turn out to be a good idea. And I certainly would never encourage anyone else to take a potentially fatal plunge into a deep and rushing river. However, I am thoroughly convinced that taking that leap myself - might just turn out to be the best decision of my life. Timing…timing is everything. The impact jolts me like an iron fist. The water is arctic-cold.All of my muscles clench. I am pulled down – hard and fast and deep. Trapped in the tentacles of the swift current, the dark water becomes my mortal enemy. Now fighting for my life, I’m sure I’m going to drown… Just before the darkness takes over, I wonder… Did it work?
