Count me in for the return to Sappho Books Cafe and Bar. I don't sleep much and sampling different literary named drinks sounds like the perfect way to spend our last night in Sydney. Tomorow is Adelaide and a new adventure.

Allison's solo trip is a dream come true. It's so beautiful there. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Come on when will you ever have such a view of the stars than lying out there in our sleeping bags. It's like being surrounded by diamonds, nothing tops that.

You did a great job with day one of the virtual adventure. You made it real for me. I have friends who’ve actually done this. The photos were divine.

AHHH, I'm beyond excited to have you with us on this adventure. Having a camera on your helmet is a smart move, I can't imagine trying to juggle a camera in and out of a dry bag and unzipping the kayak skirt that helps keep our bodies warm.

In response to "Getting Started and Introspection - Quotes "

I agree we get braver as we get older, but we are wiser. It's no longer stupid bravado, but contemplated wisdom in the bravery. If our mind stays sharp, the bravery continues...

But then when our bodies start to hinder us in older age the fear creeps in, especially if we don't trust our bodies or minds to manage.

either way, I say steady on. Keep making the leap and challenging yourself because it will help to keep you young and virile... even into older age.

Keep Keeping On.

In response to "Getting Started and Introspection - Quotes "

These are two great, thoughtful entries, Carly. I like your thoughts on the different ways of enjoying an experience. First you live the experience, but in my experience it doesn’t seem real at the time, it’s only afterwards your mind lets you see it like a film or movie. I’ve never bungle-jumped for instance but have done other adventurous things, but I can imagine seeing myself doing it from another’s perspective,
As for the second quote, one wonders why we’re so fearful sometimes. I lways ask myself “what’s the worst that can happen?” I probably won’t die, I may get derided or laughed at, but that’s not my problem and shame on anyone who would do such a thing. Anyway as get older we get braver. And that’s true.

In response to "Getting Started and Introspection - Quotes "

Those experiences that are painful unfortunately haunt you and often are the best fodder for writing.
I love the quote too because it reminds me that second time is the best.

When I think of this quote a blank page comes to mind. I fear not being able to write more than most in the moment things but my life is quite sheltered now. In the past, I would have been more like your entry. I lived in fear all the time.

It's so good to see your entry today. As always, very thoughtful entry.

Fear and its Pathology

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT January 20th
Today is a national holiday is the US: Dr Martin Luther King Jr Day. Dr King believed that fear was the ultimate cause of hatred, prejudice, and violence. Do you agree or disagree with his assessment? Give examples.

I agree that fear is the basis of all negative, dark emotions that bring about hatred, prejudice and violence. Love is the antidote. Love builds acceptance of diversity and inclusion.

Our world is in the throws of fear and that draws people into an Us versus Them mentality. I don't want to get political here, but I will say things are pretty scary right now.... especially south of the boarder. I think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be wondering if we (a global we) made any real advancements since his time.
