“Performers always come back from the Edinburgh festival with adventure stories. Watts told a few: meeting a young kilt maker who spent a year in a madhouse after eating too much LSD, and accompanying Seattle actor and musician Michael McQuilken (of Collaborator Productions) to the hospital after a Frisbee accident. He reached up to catch it and cut his hand on a sign, .. He had to get a few stitches, but I think he can still play.” ThinkingYearsStillsPlayStoriesHandsYoungActorsToo MuchCuttingAdventureEatingMusicianMeetingsProductionsAccidentsHospitalsMakersPerformersFestivalsSeattleCollaboratorsLsdStitchesEdinburghMadhousesFrisbeeKilts Author:Reggie Watts
“Bears are made of the same dust as we, and they breathe the same winds and drink of the same waters. A bear's days are warmed by the same sun, his dwellings are overdomed by the same blue sky, and his life turns and ebbs with heart pulsing like ours. He was poured from the same first fountain. And whether he at last goes to our stingy Heaven or not, he has terrestrial immortality. His life, not long, not short, knows no beginning , no ending. To him life unstinted, unplanned, is above the accidents of time, and his years, markless and boundless, equal eternity.” KnowsYearsFirstsHeartLongMadeLastsTurnsHeavenWaterSunSkyAdventureWindBearsDrinkEqualEternityBlueBreatheAccidentsDustImmortalityFountainDwellingBoundlessBlue SkyStingy Author:John Muir
“But by accident, not by cunning calculation, books, because of their weight and texture, and because of their sweetly token resistance to manipulation, involve our hands and eyes, and then our minds and souls, in a spiritual adventure I would be very sorry for my grandchildren not to know about.” KnowsMindBookSoulHandsWould BeEyeSpiritualAdventureWeightSorryAccidentsResistanceManipulationGrandchildrenCunningTextureCalculationsTokensMy Grandchildren Author:Kurt Vonnegut
“The prospect of penury in age is so gloomy and terrifying that every man who looks before him must resolve to avoid it; and it must be avoided generally by the science of sparing. For, though in every age there are some who, by bold adventures, or by favorable accidents, rise suddenly to riches, yet it is dangerous to indulge hopes of such rare events; and the bulk of mankind must owe their affluence to small and gradual profits, below which their expense must be resolutely reduced.” MenLooksAgeMankindDangerousEventsAdventureProfitAccidentsRichesEvery ManResolveExpensesIndulgeAvoidedGloomyAffluenceRare Events Author:Lyndon B.

“Adventures are funny things. Many are merely happy accidents—a single spark that ignites an unexpected chain of events. But some adventures are meant for you and you alone. And whether you want them or not, they seek you out of a great crowd and take you somewhere you never thought you’d go. Often, these unlooked for adventures require a sacrifice too great to imagine.” WantImagineSacrificeEventsAdventureCrowdsAccidentsChainsUnexpectedSparksFunny ThingsIgniteHappy AccidentsChain Of Events Book:The Final Storm Source: The Final Storm
