Lawrence: Say yes!
Linda: Yes. What did I just agree to?
Lawrence: Fencing! There’s a ten week class starting at
the Community Arts Center this Thursday.
So, at 17, began my adventure of becoming a Fencer and of meeting a dynamic, unusually talented person who would become a close mentor and a friend for life, the fencing teacher who taught and opened my eyes and heart to allowing adventure, spirituality and love of Life into my world. Until that opening conversation with Lawrence, my life was sheltered and small.

This was my Call to Adventure. It opened opportunities and exposed me to ideas and adventures that have shaped my life’s journey ever since.
Say Yes! to YOUR adventure, whatever it may be.
“Yes I said Yes I said YES!”
(Molly Bloom, from James Joyce’s Ulyssses)

Thanks, MarDrag. I loved fencing; went on to become an intercollegiate fencer on a team that placed in the top ten of all universities in my junior year. Take some lessons; there is so much subtle awareness or mindfulness of a sort that is necessary with fencing.
Say YES!
