what does it mean to explore what does
it mean to adventure Walker Percy wrote
the search is what anyone would
undertake if you were not sunk in the
everydayness of his own life to be aware
of the possibility of the search is to
be on to something not to be on to
something is to be in despair the search
you see is existential exploration
science and adventure is how we search
not just for answers but for better
questions it's how we rage against the
darkness how we battle against ignorance
make inroads against Dogma exploration
is how we map the world science is how
we come to understand an adventure is
how we come alive these are our tools
against meaninglessness adventure
science and exploration put men on the
moon built marvelous jetliners immersed
us in virtual realities and helps us
make sense of the world technological
marvels extend our imaginative
capacities and help us overcome all of
our limits
as the poet Yates wrote the world is
full of magic things patiently waiting
for our senses to grow sharp and growing
sharp where they have through the
scientific process we've expanded our
minds by building instruments such as
microscopes and telescopes that pierce
the micro and the macro in gorging our
perspectives and in doing so blasting
new tunnels between the mind and the
other we satiate our curiosities by
getting outside ourselves beside
ourselves creating cognitive appendages
new toolkits for the mind taking us to
spaces and places beyond mine world and
wonderment Adventure is about expanding
our minds the outer journey is the inner
journey we seek to expand the boundaries
of our humanists the repository of our
knowledge to become more
and is poet author marina Benjamin
Rhodes what the Space Age has been
seeking all along was not so much an
expansion of physical space as an
expansion of mind when we dream of space
she wrote we dream of transcendence we
dream of what we might become
