The hardest path to walk, the most difficult challenging in terms of morality, ethics, courage and bravery, or risk, isn’t the path that I’m taking this morning.
Yes, the coffee cup is damn full. I’ve slurped down the mocha from the brim. I’m conscious of its waves and motion as I take steps. “Easy,” I encourage myself. “Stay focused.”
No, it’s not the hardest path. It’s just walking a full cup of coffee across a public room.
Because you know everyone will notice if you spill it.
Well, maybe not.
Okay, probably not.
Still, it’s coffee.
Well, it’s just coffee.
