Crossing thresholds is for braver souls.
Those who are willing to push past discomfort,
In the belief that there is something
Of greater interest waiting.
At a distance another man seems rational;
Within handshake's reach, caution asserts itself.
Will the road less traveled
Lead to a place he wants to go?
If safety is his first commandment
He has an answer.
But you and I know
He merely has changed the odds.
Hedging a bet cuts the risk
And decreases the payoff,
Deferring the "all in" moment.
Or is that just a second delusion?
Is not our essence always equally at risk?
Does that man who moves with greater caution
Not face another, if different, challenge,
Because all roads are one?
