What is the most adventuresome thing you’ve done in the past year?
I’ve wondered about this question - what sort of risks and explorations count as adventures? While I enjoy exploring the outdoors, I’m careful when doing so to follow standard safety precautions. I’m unlikely ever to wander off into the woods without so much as a compass. The archaic form of the word has connotations of financial risk, but there again I don’t consider myself to be particularly adventuresome - my financial planning spans decades. I’ve taken a train half way across the country, trusting that I’d have a place to stay at the other end, but that wasn’t a huge leap of faith.
On the other hand, in the past few years I’ve run to fill a vacant elected office, and then for a full term in that office. Most people never do that. I have quietly stood up to the powers that be, and I’m working to transform the inner workings and the interface of democracy. Next, I’m looking toward starting a business that engages teens in large-scale collaborative creativity, but I’ll be using models that I’ve seen work elsewhere.
So you tell me - what is adventuresome?
