First Tilt
When one embarks upon a journey they usually have a destination in mind,
a plan in their pocket, and a clear sense of when the goal has been reached.
Adventures on the otherhand, or at least the best of them, are inspired
not planned. Direction is guided by impulses and progress is merely a mark
used by those that allow for failure. In the end, even the most passionate
of adventurers may never be able to reach out and touch their Dulcinea.
I have tilted at a few windmills myself in the spirit of adventure, but
an unworthy man like me never even dreamt of finding his own Cave of
Montesinos.
So with that said, I drop my visor, raise my lance and charge forward
exposing my heart. My fate is left with you...
