Adventure in my Future

Cayden got Robyn and family a pack of The Hobbit tarot cards for Christmas. Today we tried the pack. I did the spiral formation that is supposed to bring insight into a future sequence of events.

A few of the cards had to do with people of foreign countries or backgrounds. I thought of Mikkel, the Danish guy I met in Barcelona. I recall that I was pleasantly surprised by our days together. The first night I met him, I did not get his number, but he sought me out again. We ended up hanging out another few days and nights, although not always alone, it seemed clear that I was the one he seemed to take the greatest in (I do believe that this was because I put the most faith in him. I trusted that he was just a bit lonely in a big foreign city. Nothing happened between us, which I do not regret. I would love to see him again.)

Another part of my tarot sequence was full of adventure. I have begun to embrace my adventurous side in college especially, although I know that it was always present. I enjoy the new and different, and thrive off new experiences. Although I am studying to become an engineer, which seems to be a rather unoriginal path (unlike what many have suggested, I did not choose this path for the future security it may provide.) In fact....

I have a thought for something that I may wish to do in my life. I have recently become attracted to the idea of biking across the country. Biking would consume the daytime and granted by the night, I would be rather exhausted, but biking can provide time for thinking. I want to explore facets of reality that I have never considered before. Being in different places and under the stars every night would provide the perfect opportunity to through yourself out of places of comfort. Places of comfort provide comfort in what is known, shielded from change, never really opening your mind to new possibilities. I want to bike across country and explore religions and philosophies of the world and of different times. Religion may describe higher powers, these powers that help to provide explanation for the indescribable. Religion, in practice, provides a means for self-realization and exploration. I would wish this trip to be a trip of self-realization, while exploring the world and the vastness of the places of the world, one would be able to realize truths and facets of oneself. 

I want to live in comfort, security, and serenity, but I want to live a life of adventure and self-exploration before that comfort sets in. I do enjoy engineering and I do believe that I want to create and change things during my life; however, I would like to have the courage to take a step away from security to make long term changes. If I was in a comfortable, although not exciting job, I would like to start up my own business based on helping others on the path of self-exploration. 

These are my wishes for the future.
