I think exploration and the process of "discovery" in life keeps folks young. In my vocational "world", we call it "living the questions". :) D.<br /><br />Yes, indeed, life IS such a quest, NK, and "Paddle Orkney '13" sounds like a mighty fine adventure! Lucky you to be there! Cheers.

It's our nature to explore and expand our inner self and I think "launching" is what keeps us young at heart.<br /><br />MarkMark and Robyn Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609870010147809567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-38279399192987625792012-02-27T04:35:12.178+00:002012-02-27T04:35:12.178+00:00I think everyone has their own way of "launch...I think everyone has their own way of "launching" - for some it's on shore and for others there's a need for additional "time at sea".
