Is It Time For Some Silliness?

When did you last do something silly?

I don't mean foolish, or just plain dumb.

Perhaps I can best explain my meaning as "something totally out of character."

If you are always constrained, introverted, and best described as "stable," when was the last time you did something "wildly fun"?

The weeks are running along normally, and you decide "It's time for a break NOW!"

You pack two days' of clothes, hit your bank or credit union for a little cash, and leave with your camera and the best credit card you have available, heading off on "a mystery ride" to a known, or even to an unknown destination.

You may have lived in the same area for "too long" while having never "hit the road" by bus (or otherwise) to see what is just over your horizon.

Now you will, and the change may be just what is "needed NOW!"

Is taking such "a break" really "silliness"?

Are you really free to just "disappear out there" for two days?

Can you do that?

If you can't, is it all "financial handcuffs," or are you tied down by obligations to others, and a work schedule with no flexibility?

Or, is it just inertia that has you "locked in place"?

After all is said and done, what is freedom, if you are not free to enjoy it?

Each fledgling bird reaches the point at which it flexes its first full plumage and leaves its nest on its first flight to the wonders beyond in the wider world.

Have you spent a lifetime feathering the nest without gaining the ability to fly?

Isn't it time for some silliness?
