Adventures in Wonderland

Life is it's own little Wonderland. There are no talking rabbits, true, but everyone of us has experienced a fall down the rabbit hole. We all know what it's like to face a furious Red Queen. Each of us has fled a vicious, snarling Bandersnatch or two in our day.

Life is an adventure and we should treat it as such. So many times, we simply refuse to engage--burying our heads in our textbooks and ignoring the caterpillar's advice. Why are we so fearful? What do we have to worry about? Life was, after all, made to be lived. We're supposed to adventure, to explore, to learn.

So get up out of your chair, take the key, eat the cake and journey to a strange new land. Banter with a Cheshire cat in answerless circles, laugh at the antics of a madman, and be sure to drink the tea he offers you. Be late. Slay your Jabberwocky. Walk upside down. Think outside of the box.

I promise you, life will be better for it.
