Paths

Let's suppose you see a bridge. It's a cloudy day and the river beautifully reflects the sky above. You have free time and you may decide wether you cross that bridge or not. If you take a picture, if you gaze, if you spend some time there to admire it. Or if you don't pay attention to it at all. 

What if you do decide to cross it, and bumped into someone? And it's a grumpy one? Or if they get hurt? Or if they possibly smile and start a conversation?

And if you just stay there, would they bump into you?

If you take a picture, would you wait for them to cross the bridge? Would the landscape look different, then?

How many different stories do we burn by deciding what path to take?
