“I’m a beamwalker,”
Hoot said. “My whole life I’ve
been walking the beam, straight and narrow and above it all. I never had to make any real choices about direction
because the only direction I knew was straight ahead, the only direction that
mattered. Anything else, you fell off
the beam. You know how it is.
“Now, I see that the choices were always there. I just didn’t notice them overmuch at the time. I ignored them, the choices I had to make. Concentrating on straight ahead, I made them
without seeing them. Career
choices. Family choices. Life
choices. Never even bothered to look too
close.”
