I'm faced at every moment with two possible lives, and I must choose one without knowing whether I want it, whether it's worth it.
Sarah Manguso, from 300 Arguments
The Possible Lives by Ted Kooser
There were once so many I might choose among, like a warehouse of coats and shoes, and all my size. Walking the streets I imagined myself in every house, happy with whichever woman might be living there. How might it be to be at home among the odours of a hundred different lives, opening the curtains each morning to a different view? Now I know that this life I have is the only one I have ever had or will ever be given, a cord of braided dreams that I follow, hand over hand, into the distance.
