One of the biggest questions in life is which ball to choose: if two balls sit in front of you which one do you play with? Can you really take on both at once or do you have to choose – in essence to prioritise one over another? And if you do have do choose what forms the basis of your criteria? The ball that is more worn – the one you have formed to your mouth and that holds the memories and scents of previous encounters, or the path less travelled – the newer one with all it’s promises of new horizons? Truly it is a difficult dilemma I faced when G. teasingly held up two balls and placed them at two points – equidistant on the ground in front of me. I have to say I hesitated – in the end the decision I made was based purely on instinct. One ball rolled away and therefore demanded my attention –but I still wonder whether my decision was the right one. Just because it caught my attention through its movement doesn’t mean it was the better toy.
