The day dawned cooler and windier than anticipated, but what
gave pause was that ominous beast of a dark stormy sky lying directly above and
beyond their determined point of destiny.
Should they chance being caught on rain-slicked granite,
falling and breaking that damned hip of their senior years? What if one of them
was zapped by Zeus’ lightning bolt? Should they play it safe – again? Or risk
the chance of danger for a promised adventure ahead?
Already in their golden years, these four sisters of the
heART knew there was precious little time left for playing it safe. Each one quietly pondered in her own soul
whether the risk was worth it. No one spoke, “Let’s take our chances and go.”
But begin they did, each determined to experience in their bones what had until
now been only a dream in their head.
