The smallest little moment can change your life in an unexpected way. This is the fragile truth of existing on this planet as a living, breathing being. A decision, taken with barely a thought for consequence, can render you helpless and frightened. Turning left instead of right can alter your momentum in ways that seemed impossible a minute ago. A sudden change of direction can realise, or strangle, your potential. Running instead of walking can make a monumental difference to your future.
Or, in my case, running across a recently-sprinkled putting green in a pair of brogues instead of walking around it on the pavement can leave you yelping in pain and unable to stand up straight.
I now have a sprained knee, and I'm furious.
