Perhaps your adventure awaits beyond the shelf,
beyond walls,
along roads less travelled,
With friends unknown,
With rivals to be discover,
Trials faced,
Contests won.
An adventure doesn’t have to have dragons in it,
An adventure is doing something beyond your norm,
To see life from a different point of view,
To share in a conversation with a stranger,
To pet a dog,
To ford a creek,
To climb a hill,
To learn an amazing skill,
To share a kiss.
An adventure lies in books,
And within experience.
So if you were looking for a wardrobe,
Hoping for an owl,
Expecting a satyr,
Or waiting for a Wizard,
Then perhaps your sense of adventure,
Is saying put down the book,
And go beyond the shelf.
