Adventure over safety

I was talking about my need to be more careful today when I was told to be more wise, not careful. After I gave him (Gordon, for those of you who know him!) a quizzical look, he responded by reading me this.

"Plus, you got the point of it all: You have chosen adventure over safety. This, in itself, is a rare gift" -Peter Block in the dedication of his book (which title now escapes me)

Lovely isn't it? I have never wanted to be careful. The word doesn't even feel like me. Wise, yes...careful, no.

Happy Epiphany. Now THAT is an adventure...Christ coming here to live amongst us sinners.
