There is movement in this sardine. There is past, present, and future. There is color in the dance of life.
In an irregular heartbeat, like a two-step dance, life is always a choice. Who hasn't lived in the future or wanted to quickly run back to the past? Meanwhile, the present melts away. During this time, we can stand firmly on the ground, and that's called courage.
