I watched an elderly woman attached to an oxygen tank, light up a Capri slim cigarette. The whiteness juxtaposed against her wrinkled skin caught my eye. It dangled between her fingers and I was transfixed. I watched as she coughed and hacked walking with great effort to a car parked next to me, the green tank trailing behind her like a faithful pet.  The scene led me to contemplate choices.

Unbeknownst to her, this woman reminded me of the valuable lesson of Choice. That our very actions cause a ripple effect stating very succinctly what desires and changes we want to manifest....what reality we envision..what world we want to live in...
