I love this story! I sensed it but never thought much about how much we are defined by what we have knowingly not done as well as what we have actually done. I also still live in the Amsterdam of my mind. Sometimes if I lay down to take an afternoon nap I will imagine myself at my apartment on the Nieuwe Herengracht, go outside, unlock my bike and take off for a bike ride, usually heading up the Amstel to the skinny bridge and then take off from there! In fact, I’m going to do that right now!
