thirty-one

As someone about to set off exploring 

Traveling to places I have never been 

Quitting your job and also your residence

That takes a proverbial leap of faith


As someone who knows what it is like

Facing their fears before brain surgery

Then living with an uncertain prognosis

By comparison this is not that scary


To deliberately disengage yourself

To make it possible to go away on long trips 

To experience new places and people 

That is something few people ever do 


Such an exciting adventure awaits you 

Hiking through spectacular scenery

Engaging with different cultures 

Expanding your sense of everything


This is a special gift you give to yourself

Daring to let go of your safe existence

Ready to experience the wide world 

With our full support behind you
