The humility of adventure

I heard a man on the radio say that you knew that Jesus was young when he died because he didn't have anything in the sermon on the mount about how you needed to save for your pention.

Can I do this?
Really do this?
Let go?
Let go of a front porch neighbourhood and a backyard with a kiddy-pool full of my smiling kids.
Will I look back and regret this choice?
The choice to have my kids see mountains and beauty and the eyes of different cultures?

This see-saw of emotions, rootedness meets the road-less traveled.
I know that life does not wait that I need to live now,
that there will always be risk,
and little feet,
who will see how I walk.
