Risk

I saw a ribcage yesterday on the way home on the path. A whole chest cavity of some unfortunate creature, maybe human but I don't think so, I was running late so I didn't stop to take a picture and today I couldn't find it. Bummer. Pieces of a creature that was the dinner for some other creature. I like not being on top of the food chain, if I am in the woods I know full-well I am near the top but not quite there. There are cats that might like a taste and would leave me bleeding in my ribcage on the side of the trail. My risk, calculated, but still, my risk. It's comforting to know that the odds may lean in my favor but not entirely.
