Adventure

Adventure: embracing an event with a level of risk that makes me squirm, not vomit, not yawn in anticipation. An event that bonds all participants; we chatter at the post-event celebration, review all the game-changing details.  (Laughing, trivializing the fear that only moments before left our world moving in slow motion.)

Let me be bold, accept the battle cry of the next adventure that is offered up, the mental gameshow host taunts me with the idea.  I so quickly think of the consequences, images of death, destruction, pain .... Or god no ... mockery or failure in a social setting ... as the cruel punishments.  Yet, I cannot contain myself with the excitement.  I must, oh I must.... It is what keeps me alive.  Laughing, screaming in the wind with pure excitement.

Drive on, drive fast... Like the train that slices the night. Dance in delight around the light.  Of the fire that burns blindingly bright. Oh adventure  I shall dream of you tonight.
