A wandering life

I think I've always liked to wander.  When I was young my dad let me take the boat out whenever I wanted.  I would go off and explore around the lake or go to places I liked to be and just sit there.  It was a big lake so there were lots of places to go.  For the last 30 years I have been trying to fit into the social organization of being an adult in this world and it simply doesn't seem to work for me.  I need to explore and to wander, to go places and make new friends.  It's essential to who I am.  Living the work-a-day world isn't really me.  I want to learn new things, share those things with others, and explore the great wonder that is the world today.  It is clear to me that I cannot be satisfied with what I have and not want more.  The wanting is not a material want but a spiritual want - a want to fill my life with the good things and the challenges that adventure can bring.  So, here I go, off into the world to find that wonder.
