Journal adventure “Stay intoxicated”
I would like to stay in the romance
of loving the new adventures .
So quickly we lose it
in pursuit of making a living
getting a job
and a career.
We spent hours in music schools
and create music
write songs
but we never or seldom
do all the living
that it takes to become a really great writer .
We limit our experience at every turn.
We need to re-capture the adventure
the spirit
of starting life.
I know with
what we can learn
where we can go
how we can travel
and let the career evolve out of that
and not think so Young
of making a living
but when we are young .
We must experience life
taste all its fruits.
We must journey
to the far ends of ourselves
and travel
meet people
learn languages
and customs
cultures.
Travel
play with our friends
don’t miss moments
and moments
of doing nothing
the leisure
moments of just experiencing
the sun on your body.
Let us re-capture t
he Romance the adventure
Stephen John Kalinich
