i
can
look
backwards
and
see
all
sorts
of
moments
where
the
ensuing
weeks
,
months
or
even
years
would
have
gone
so
much
differently
if
i
had
made
a
different
or
better
choice
.
and
sometimes
i
wonder
how
i
would
be
different
all
of
those
dominoes
had
fallen
in
some
slightly
different
way

'
my
religion
is
to
live
and
die
without
regret' milarepa
the
tibetans
hold
him
as
a
saint
.
that
single
sentence
proved
to
me
why
.
but
sometimes
i
leave
my
religion
at
the
roadside
,
and
i
too
wonder
how
it
would
be
today
if
i
would
have
made
different
choices
.
if
the
landscape
of
my
heart
would
be
smoother,
if
the
walls
would
be
shorter,
if
my
eyes
would
be
wide
open
, unshuttered.
but
,
today
is
the
day
i
could
be
who
i
always
wanted
to
be
.
most
things
look
better
,
become
clearer
from
behind
anyways.
i
try
not
to
look
back
too
much
anymore
.
