...in what is familiar. No matter how big, how exciting, how affirming a journey has been, an adventurer will often seek to recharge in place that's familiar before the next adventure comes calling.
But the soul needs adventure. It will yearn for something different, even if our mind does not recognize this need. It will rest in our hearts in the form of dreams, of 'if onlys" and 'what ifs." We need to acknowledge its existence or it dries up and eats away at our sense of wonder until nothing is new and our entire palette changes into nothing but shades of gray.
We need something to look forward to. Always. When our every day just bleeds into the next like one long day that never ends, that's not a life. We were not put here to be bored to death. The big world is out there and regretfully not long enough lives to explore it. So why be content with the mundane, the ordinary, the commonplace? Why choose gray when a rainbow of adventure awaits?
