I’m not interested in merely scratching the outer-most layered surface of life experiences, although that warm bath can be so alluring.
Traveling down the popular worn path doesn’t satisfy my curiosity, however its’ resistance free nature and known destination is hard to deny.
Communicating with others about frivolous topics and meaningless gossip doesn’t nurture my soul nor stimulate my mind to learn new perspectives or concepts.
It’s the intentional high-dive head first into the deep pool of the unknown – the unrefined and raw experience that captivates my attention. The contemplation of risk. The stretching of all my skills that keeps me at wonder. “Can I?” “Would it be possible?” “Is there any way I could. . . ?” And “What if?”
It is these questions that enchant my imagination and test my physical and mental capacities. This, we do alone. A lonely journey. Find your people to help you. I definitely need mine.
Although I don’t understand and often question the forces that entice me: I feel compelled to live a life less ordinary.
