I realize I am not in the adventure tribe. It must be why the solace of garden is my pleasure, green stuff miniscule like chamomile in the gravel of the driveway and oaks rooted in the same place for hundreds of years. Old skills of thread and wild flowers that defy truck tires~~ That's enough excitement. "Out there" belongs to a different race of beings who delight in unknown. Plenty for everyone.

Indiana is adventure enough. I understand, my friend. Thanks for reading my story. Armchair travel is painless...

Having once been a 21 year old man, I'd say you captured the sense of adventure and the "ready for anything" spirit. Beautiful prose Sharron.

At 21, you are invincible! Remember not being afraid of anything, and curious about everything? Me too.

Just saw this today. Sorry! I had no idea you were so young, Terry! From the wisdom you always impart in your eclectic substack, I assumed you were a seriously wise and mature man.
