Yes Or No

While assisting a friend in a cleanup project, Our physical heads united in the worst way. My friend and I were moving heavy concrete that had the design of tombstones. Too heavy to move one of them alone, we teamed up to move one together. On opposite sides of the concrete, my friend pushed, and I pulled. As we repositioned our hands for a better grip, we literally bumped heads. It reminded me of the, "Come; Stay", standoff in the ET movie. Love and affection were strong. Nevertheless, both ET and the young boy stayed in their own world and lived their own lives. My wife and I were invited on a paid-for cruise with friends. There was nothing in me that wanted to go. But everything within me wanted to stay. There was nothing more I needed to know. But I did not know how to tell them so. When I saw the joy in their eyes, for me to decline would not have been wise. So, as my heart was shouting "No!", my head said "Yes". 100222cj
