The Pervasive Fork

It is during these guaranteed times of uncertainty,

when tensions rise and are filled with anxiety,

that we are forced down a fork in our path.

The pervasive fork that always remains,

to nurture our growth or stab our wounds,

to savor our joy or test our wrath.

Choose wisely… or don’t,

for no matter the bet in this gambling den,

the pervasive fork will come up again.
