Hide and Seek ?

Daily writing prompt

Are you seeking security or adventure?

I’m seeking an adventurous woman I can secure to come clean my house…HA HAA

The time in life has come to seek security I guess, as this Dawgs life has been spent seeking adventure.

I have pushed the envelope for so long I forgot how much stamps costs. From being the kid who was talked into doing stupid shit, going forward any adventure I could go on turned me on.

A great memory of childhood saw my dad take us on “adventure’s” every year when the corn was ready to be picked, He would load us up in the car, drive out to the country and drop us off on a country road where we would duck into a corn field and when he drove back up the dirt road we would bring arm loads of corn out of the fields and fill the trunk up.

Fun times. As I got older the adventures got bigger. I went from ‘stalking’ the corn to jumping out of a plane 3000 feet above it and gently floating back to earth,scared shitless about stepping out of that plane let me tell ya, no security in this one.

Climbing Menomonee falls in Oregon or Forest falls in Cali were both excellent adventures along with taking the hike up Mt. Rainer up there by Seattle. These things were a blast and provided great memories.

My favorite adventure by far in this lifetime is one that changed daily. the adventure of being “Against The Wind”

A life long love of riding motorcycles brought both adventure and security. There is no description of the peaceful feeling being on a lonely road and cruising to nowhere that can provide a feeling of security or the adventure of the trip with no destination. On the other side of the coin is an adventure of not knowing if your secure in the saddle as cage drivers don’t see me coming but damn sure have heard me.

And this brings me back to the security. I found myself slowing down when age seemed to begin speeding up and now a ‘daze’ I find myself longing for another adventure but instead trying to secure my future in these uncertain times. Writing my book is a version of security, not as in getting rich but rather in the minds eye of feeling at peace which to me is the second best feeling I could hope for this morning. Now back to the cleaning of the house…
