Adventure still matters.
Even during a pandemic and everything.

Going somewhere unfamiliar, letting yourself be blown away by nature, and tapping into a sense of wonder makes us better people. Humble. Grateful. Soft-hearted. And our world needs those qualities so badly right now.
Take the precautions, of course. But don’t starve yourself of wonder.

The other weekend, we found a peak to climb in Lakeside. It was way hotter than we were planning (triple digits, ugh) and while the trail wasn’t long, it got real steep towards the end. I’m pretty impressed with my eight month old’s endurance.
At the peak, a pile of boulders formed the perfect cave. After climbing around, we ducked into the cave where the shade cooled things down considerably. The rocks formed a perfect wind tunnel, letting us cool off while snagging an amazing panoramic view.
It felt so good and right to be out there. To be reminded of that sense of aliveness that I haven’t gotten enough of in a while.

Adventures are a bit harder to orchestrate these days. But if you need to, figure out how to do something while taking all the precautions to keep others safe. If you need to, reframe what you consider an adventure.

What are you doing to keep adventure alive, in spite of it all?
