Mindfulness

A decision once made,
will be paid, 
just as a decision
not made, 
is still a decision
and will be paid. 

This is something that
I have learned, 
and have had to relearn
so many times,
that I must be a very slow
learner, 
indeed!

Decision or no,
you accept the toll, 
because there is no
otherwise.
Your mere existence
carries with it
a participation fee, 
whether you participate
or not.
