~Jane Austen
When I was still too young to read my hero was Pippi Longstocking. So it should come as no surprise that my dream as a kid was to be a pirate.
Growing up not much has changed. Ok maybe a little has changed.
But in my second life I would pursue the Pirate life, I have no doubt about it.
I have an overwhelming fascination for being where I am not. Call it wanderlust if you will. I am not in pursuit of a home. I will not be satisfied where I am comfortable.
What I am seeking is adventure. What I desire is the exhilaration of the journey. There is no finally in my quest. The end of my voyage lies on the other side of life; beyond the seas of death and into all things eternal. Until then I am simply in it for the journey. Only God knows knows where it will take me.
I believe that in life there is no destination. And if you have a set objective, I guarantee you that you will miss it by a thousand miles. Cause the truth is, life will never be as perfect as you wish it be. He who anticipates the moment that their life aligns with this picture perfect image will wish their life away. They will never live in the grace of the moment but always be lost in the hope that life will get better. Life is not yesterday or tomorrow. Life is today. Today life is better. Don't let it slip away before you embrace it.
You can spend your whole life in pursuit of things that will never satisfy. Some of us live and die and never once realize that life is all about the journey. It's all about the moments of suspense. The moments when the tables turn. Those moment's when, despite uncertainty, you laugh in the face of danger.
