Butterfly Effect

Looking back on the way life has unfolded, there are moments that leave me wondering.

What if I had chosen the other path?
What if I had done things differently?
What if I listened to my brain rather than my heart?

The decisions I make are my choice and my responsibility. The impacting ripples and far reaching dominos set on a path, that beyond the first innocent push I am helpless to stop. They are the pebbles that trigger the landslide, the snowflakes that release the avalanche. And at the end of it when I look back, what kind of trail will I have left?

I suppose that is a question that only time can answer. And although I realise I may be that butterfly, if I don't flap my wings, how will I ever learn to fly?
