A is for Adventure

April 1, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

I fancy myself like Alice in a world jam-packed with comical creatures and inspired imagery. When I feel plucky enough to follow the zany white rabbit, he steers me to places of adventure.

Seeing through my heart and soul, the ordinary becomes curiouser and curiouser.

Some days the door I face is invisible or difficult or impossible to open without first solving riddles and changing my perspective. Other days are filled with uncommon nonsense, a path illogically pointing in both directions leading to chaos and madness. Some days are simple and uncomplicated magical tea party days.
Rabbit holes surround me. Each day is a wonderland.
