Are you seeking security or adventure?

I only have to look at this image to need a strong cup of tea and a lie down.
I would dearly love to say that I seek adventure, that I enjoy nothing more than the wind in my hair and a high speed charge through life. Sadly it’s not true.
I was raised in a frightened and cautious family, although I’m the least cautious of us. I think my mother left this country once in her life, dad used to be in the navy, but after they married life settled down to making ends meet. When they did have money dad hated flying and mum was terrified of water. 🤷♀️
I developed into a person who is largely content if life is quiet, pleasant, and uneventful. That’s one side of the Gemini completely happy. Me, hubby, cats, family, friends, all great. Result! The other aspect of me gets her adventure through books. She’s happy.
Adventure?
I’d love to tell you I’m the female Tom Cruise or James Bond, minus all the violence and killing, but that wouldn’t be true. I don’t like getting dirty and nothing is allowed to mess up my hair, it takes too long to do! As in over ten minutes.
If Tom Cruise ever runs in platform shoes, or James Bond jumps out of a plane in stiletto heels I may rethink, but not otherwise.
If everyone I love is okay, every animal I love is okay, then life is pretty perfect for me. I obviously wish I could extend that to every person in the world and every creature in the world, but even God (your choice of which one) has been able to persuade us into that kind of life enhancing behaviour, so I don’t pressure myself. I do what I can where I can.
So no, I’m about the security, and I am completely happy. I do enjoy tales of adventure though, I’m a 5* visualiser!
To whatever floats your boat, if it feels right it is right.

Interesting article. Your name ‘Hawken’ suggests a ‘young hawk.’ The flying picture you chose goes well with your name. Divine hawk?
