Tone of Enjoyment of the Adventure

The adventure of life is like riding an ocean wave, or shooting the rapids:  It is meant to be exhilarating and inspiring; a journey of unpredictable delights.  It is not for those who cling to self-pity or in faithlessness prefer the stagnant waters of the marsh.  It is not for those who seek the safety of the pack, but are instead at one with the heartbeat of life, even if only they can hear it.
