Life, like a bowl of cherries, is full of small risks we take for joy. You might not know if that second cup will cause a sprint to the restroom, but you know the sweetness in the moment is worth it. We can’t control every gut reaction, but we can control our curiosity.
Maybe the lesson isn’t about cherries at all. Maybe it’s about listening to our bodies, laughing at our mishaps, and slowing down. One cherry at a time, one breath at a time, we navigate the messy, delicious experience of being human.
So go ahead, buy the cherries. Just maybe don’t eat them on a first date. Or do. Either way, you’ll have a good story to tell.
