Adventure is entering the unknowing,

It is excitement,

Trepidation,

Concern,

A willingness to respond.

 

To say Yes, when a maybe is all that is there.

To be open, when closed, seems safer.

To be vulnerable, when you might get hurt.

 

But most of all, adventure means hitting the Go button.

For none can begin without the first step.

I cannot describe it any more than what it is to breathe,

Except that I must have it.

 

 

I cannot write down its meaning,

But know what it feels like,

  

I cannot determine its limits,

Because it has none.

 

I cannot recognize its shape,

Only by its absence or presence.

 

All I truly know about it is its author.

And His presence in my life.
