now I'd go out and say, 'All right, I'll go with you to Alaska

What? You want to live your life over again? 
"Well, I suppose yes, . . .That time in Great Rapids . . .
 
My life -- as I live it -- was a series of shynesses." 

Being bolder -- what good would that do? 
"I'd open my door again. I've felt abashed, 
You see. Now I'd go out and say, 'All right, 

I'll go with you to Alaska.' Just opening the door 
From the inside would have altered me -- a little. 
I'm too shy . . ." And so a bolder life 

Is what you want? "We could begin now. 
Just walk with me -- down to the river. 
I'll pretend this boat is my life . . . I'll climb in."
