I inform you most confidently that I'm alive. And in mostly one piece. Often I find myself being the stick in the mud and flaking out at every available opportunity. Therefore, I went out on a limb and made myself go on this grand adventure:
- Who: Ward Friends (8 of us)
- Where: Spanish Fork Hot Pots
- What: To have some sort of ridiculously adventurous adventure at the Spanish Fork Hot Pots
- When: Monday, May 28, 2012 10 pm-1 am
- Why: Who really knows....we're young and dumb
This is what I remember about the path to the hot pots at night (imagine this as pitch black, and a river-ish stream instead of the ocean, but keep in mind the cliff-ish nature to the right of the path):
Galileo Galilei once said, "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." I think this man has a fantastic point. Tough and challenging situations require intense self-discovery.
Although it was out of my comfort zone, I think this trip was worthwhile because of what I learned about myself while hiking narrow trails next to cliffs at midnight in foreign territory.
After all was said and done, I think I would participate in similar activities again--just to discover what is yet unknown. On the other hand, I don't know at what point it would be too dangerous or too much. As someone wise said, "Being young is all about doing dumb things...that hopefully are not too dangerous." I think this photo evidence proves that I'm learning from my experiences...bit by bit.
Fin.
