No is a Sentence #2
When I say “No,” I am committed to a time and place. Where I am or where I will go remains to be seen.
My sentence can be served, commuted, or forgiven. What I do with my time served, used, squandered is my own responsibility not to be shared.

I can choose to say “Yes” but only when the sentence leads to something higher and further than that “No” committed me.
A sentence provides choices for a decision of “yes” or “no.”
There is no “maybe” in between when a sentence is chosen.
Which shall I choose?
What would you do when confronted with a sentence that demands a yes or no?
