QUEST

I'm participating in this year's A-Z challenge, and so will be posting daily about a subject focusing on a letter of the alphabet.

I'm on a quest for life.

I've lived a safe little existance until now.

Now I have a raging desire. A roaring unquenchable thirst for adventure. To pack what's left of my time with experience--

Sights, sounds, tastes, touches
Feeling, laughter, love, and joy.

The Native Americans had something like this -- when a boy was making the transition into manhood, he would go on a Spirit Quest.

In some ways, my journey is similar. By challenging myself to try new things, to push myself out of what is my known world, I am discovering who I really am. For the first time in 54 years, I am beginning to like this daring person I'm becoming.
