The journey becomes an adventure when

We stop to notice what comes our way as we go:

The obstacles, the curious things,

The jensisaisquoi that seems

To be dropped in front of us

Like the handkerchief of a fair maiden who needs our help.

Or is it rather a mademmoiselle 

Who by design

Tries to unwind our harshest  or

Most boring fates,

To draw us in to an interesting story we might call life?

A subtle change,

If we can slow down from our petty idea of destiny,

Take off our myopic shades,

And transform ourselves from journeymen into divine adventurers.
