“So
many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take
the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned
to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may
appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more
dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure
future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion
for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new
experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an
endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different
sun.”
WOW
first off let me say CHRIS IS DEEP. i almost feel he's got all (or
most) of it figured out. by these words you can already tell
that i agree with the above words of McAndless. i tbhink that most of us live knowing that we can change our path but choose not to. and why... because how we're living is convienent. i think that everyone in there heart yearns to venture out further that the avaerage human. but we're to scared to do it. we're afraid to leave behind what we have. well dont be, it's going to be their. in my opinion i think there is a time were you have to go back to the pace of life, but always knowing what's coming next is boring. and haven't you ever hear the expression boredness killed the cat. we need to experience true joy. feel the rush of being free and not being tied down. i love the line " to have a new and different sun" basically to wake a new place each day (phisically or MENTALLY). live free and live far!!
for those of you who don't know about chris (and you all should) he was no hypocrite. he lived by these words. he was some kind of advernturerer. for a while he sat ther eunhappy with his circumsatances but that did not last long. as soon as he was done with college,he became a tramp (hee hee) traveling around on whim. he almost literally woke up to a different sun every day. he did not have peace of mind with normality of life. so he went basically wherever his heart would take him. he lived for the unexpected. down to his last breath i'm pretty sure he had a scence of the joy of life. Chris is...was basically the best example of passionate, free, spirit.

| THIS IS CHRIS'S SPIRIT |
i believe that i and ALOT more people are tied down to life. we wake up and have the same descisions, what to eat for breakfast or dont eat at all. should i finish my h.w. in class, or just confess i didnt do it. pizza, sub, or skip this s*it. then go home. do h.w. or go out with buddies. sleep or stay up late. dont you think when you think baout if is just a dull process. but the part security i must disagree with. are we really secure. anything we do could be our last. i do not think thst there is enough precautions that you could take to prevent death or injury. if chris was here now to talk to me he might tell me to take my creativity elsewhere. i really don't mean to try to brag buti have things to express and ways to do it but i sit here and do the same thing. chris would tell me trasvel the world and write your stories or draw those pictures. but to encourage me i would need MONEY. but not a day goes by that i (na di'm sure you) feels like living more freely.....
