There’s nothing like just doing it. It’s a real, visceral experience that cannot be read about; it has to be done, to be appreciated. What you face inside yourself and outside yourself will be revealing in a way you cannot normally see. It’s a blast for blast sake. It’s not likely, but it may actually lead you someplace new in life.
