Ten Personal Sliding Doors Moments

(This is the most intimate of the lists I’ve posted so far, and surely the most cryptic. It’s for personal reference more than anything else: ten moments in my life when the path split and I’m not sure I took the right direction. So then: If I disappear through a crack in the universe or step into a time machine, you might find me at one of these moments, making a different choice. I’ve listed them in reverse chronological order.)
