QVID AGIS?

She said, "One of the things I like most about you, is how you go wherever you want. You do whatever you want. It's refreshingly mysterious."

I cocked an eyebrow to that, because not only have I heard similar comments before, but my thought was "...and that's one of the things that I can most hurt you with."


I have lived in my present habitat for over a year now. It's the longest I have stayed in one place without some sort of long excursion away, or packing up and moving all together since...goodness...since I was 17 years old before heading to college.

I know I will always be traveling and visiting the reaches of the world, but I wonder if I will continue to roam. A part of me hopes that I will. I don't know if that part of me is habit or comfort with the normalcy of everything being temporary. Perhaps it is pure curiosity and the adventurer in my heart that want to see and experience more. 

Lead on, champion.

I am going to do more

I have watched earth be formed anew at Mauna Loa.

I have slept under the cold stars at 12,000 ft in the Rocky Mountains.

I have played on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

I have fished the waters of the Bosphorus.

I have ridden camels through the sea of sand dunes in the empty quarter of the Arabian Desert.

I have snorkeled the floor of the Red Sea.

I have thrown snowballs off of the edge of the Grand Canyon.

I have surfed the blue waves of the Pacific Ocean.

I have hunted the game of the American Prairies.

I have walked on the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River.

I have floated in the Dead Sea.

... and I am going to do more.
