Be Zen

Adventure is a word that can be interpreted in many different ways.

Define Adventure: an exciting or very unusual experience.

​When one says they want to go on an adventure, what do they really mean? Do they want to escape and fly away to a place where the hot uv rays will beam on their skin, and act as their therapy. Do they want to try a new restaurant, one that is known for its excellent food?

An adventure can be from simple to as far-fetched as you want to make it.

I find that adventurous people are so focused on moving forward and learning new things, that when something bad happens they don’t stumble, instead they make it part of their dance. The dance of an adventurous soul is one that goes to its own beat, a beat that is immeasurable and unique.

Although they are so steadfast on making their mark, sometimes the dance can overpower them and a small storms hit them like a tornado. It engulfs their passion and life, immersing in them thoughts of hatred.

That was me today, the world seemed cold and bleak. My mind was out in the world seeking adventures but physically I was trapped and unable to move.

Until Sophia looked at me and told me, “Be Zen,”

And Zen I shall be…
