now i've got that feeling once again.

"When I was a child,
I caught a fleeting glimpse
out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown,
the dream is gone."

The funny thing about a fork road is
it works the same way as a fork
it either ends up at one place or the other -
the good food or the bad food.


A craving or desire
to consume a certain type of food.

The expectation set at that.


--------


The hunger comes in.
And it's time for a meal.


The first plate of food may not often be the best.
While it may satisfy the hunger,
it may not be the ideal food
and it doesn't become the favourite food.

The second plate of food comes with a price.
While it might cost a little more,
it may not satisfy that hunger,
and it doesn't leave a nice after-taste.


--------


The hunger comes in.
And it's time for a meal.

Hungry, the stomach rumbles.
The mouth itches.
The hands get fidgety.
But the body calm.

Hungry, the stomach grumbles.
The headache seeps in.
The fingers get fidgety.
But the body motionless.


--------


To obtain food to satisfy hunger,
a 4-step manual provides the solution.

One must first sit upright.

The mind has to be determined,
all or nothing,
basic posture required.

One must then let the feet touch the ground.
The feet must be ready,
to move or to remain vertical,

grounded feet required.

One must next stand up on the ground.
The knees must be ready,
to bend or to break,
a small extent of strength required.

One must lastly start moving.
The body must be flexible,
to avoid obstacles or crash and burn,
effort and willpower required.

--------

The amazing thing about a fork road is
it works the same way as a fork.
It either ends up at one place or the other -
the good or the bad.

A urge or desire
to make a decision.

The expectations would be set there.
