Wasabi

Do you remember the first time you ever tasted wasabi?
I was in shock, teary eyed, & a little stunned. It left me wanting more: more wasabi & more adventures. It left me with a wanting a taste of “bring it on” about life. I felt as if the world had just offered me something exciting. As small as tasting Wasabi was in my childhood, it impacted me.

I’ve grown to a whopping 18 years of age; I’m no longer a child. Children take from the world. They take experience, observation, and attention. They take effort, knowledge, & adventure.

Tonight while eating dry roasted wasabi flavored Edamame, it occurred to me that maybe it’s time for me to give. I don’t exactly know what that means, but it has purpose. There are quite a few young people who are confused. They need some experience and observation. They need attention. They take effort, so who’s going to invest? They’ll take knowledge if I’ll be willing to share.  Bring it on, adventure!
