I've already posted my rules for myself, but in looking for something else I came across this poem I shared with my nephew when he graduated high school. He's about to graduate college, so I'll need to come up with a new one, but that's a problem for Future Don. For right now I have this:
Go as a pilgrim and seek out danger
far from the comfort
and the well lit avenues of life.
Pit your every soul against the unknown
and seek stimulation in the comfort of the brave.
Experience cold, hunger, heat and thirst
and survive to see
another challenge
and another dawn.
Only then will you be at peace
with yourself
and be able to know an to say;
“I look down the farthest side of the mountain,
fulfilled and understanding all,
and truly content that
I lived a full life and one
that was my own choice.”
-James Elroy Flecker
