fusion and it becomes the entrée, the only one available,
and it doesn’t go down too well.
IT is where we are. There are few to talk to on the
matter. There is little info out there. You can find folks
for sure and every conversation is helpful. But we would
like to make you aware that IT is real.
There’s little point in hopelessly moping about. We’re
in a constant process of designing our next journey, our
path is still to cross the wilds; it is our passion, our focus.
The IT is worth the lifestyle.
It would’ve been awesome to have anticipated the IT,
to be able to navigate and sew in more positivity had we
not had to flush it out into the light to see what IT was
before we could begin contending with IT.
In the interest of awareness, I’ll say to all doers, and
those dreaming of doing, that no matter what you and I
do there will always be unforeseen challenges. It’s what
adventure is. Down past the skin and ribs we find the
heart of the matter and sometimes it hurts to get there.
As adventurers we must realise that the heart is equally
wild. It is a ride; a bucking, twisting, snorting, wild ride.
When we think we’ve figured it out, that’s when the real
danger begins.
The quest of challenging everything you've ever un-
derstood, flipping the lives of you and your family upside
down and literally throttling into the most terrifying and
valuable experience of your life and coming to the other
side, victorious, is an epic experience.
Finding out however that the 'real' world has no real-
istically suitable place for you anymore, nor you for it,
is the oddest of homecoming. We maintain that there is
always a way and that by sharing our discoveries we can
help make finding IT a little easier for you.
We can be found at IT, and we’d like to see IT become
topic of mainstream conversation. In so many ways,
life is like riding; a series of lines to pick and stick to in
order to get on through. It’s nice to get a little heads up
to the challenges, to the ‘funky little boulder on the left
as you come around the juniper just ahead’. IT is just
that, a funky little boulder. It’s no big deal, but if you hit
it wrong, it can become a big deal … but I guess, we just
deal with IT … BJ
