this morning #546.

this morning, it appeared that his embrace of the concept of “you’ve gotta play to win” had backfired spectacularly & now he found himself working out a way to salvage at least some of his “winnings.” he had come too far to start sitting on the sidelines again. for years, he’d been adept at tempering temptation. all it took was one small setback to set him off on a different track. soon after that shift, when a cousin came asking for assistance with “moving” something, he saw it as an opportunity to get back in the game without delay. from his hiding spot behind the high school, he was starting to consider that he may have made the wrong choice.
