Escapees January-February 2023

thoughts for the road

I decided there are two kinds of people in this world. People like my friend Gini, who live for thrills and love that adrenaline rush. They are like beautiful eagles soaring through the sky. And then there are people like me who do our risk-taking in a di ff er ent way. We’re the chickens, doomed to scratch in the earth’s dirt. Chickens will never soar through the air, but I have found that scratching the surface uncovers many wonders. We live in a world of miracles. I believe there is a need for both eagles and chick ens. We each have a purpose. Talented people play instruments as they march in a parade. I applaud them while realizing that the parade would be as useless as a comedian without an audience if no one stood on the sidewalk and cheered them on.
