About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

What? Daring? ME?
Prompt: What is the most daring thing you have ever done? Write about this in your Blog entry today.
--------------
I guess I was more daring when I was much younger; however, I don't recall doing anything too daring, ever. If anything, becoming a member in WdC and staying here for so long and non-stop can be considered a daring thing, too.
In the same vein, marrying my husband and the two of us going on trips all the time was daring, too. We did do daring things together but I'm quite sure I wasn't alone in instigating them. Then, when I was quite young and one of my uncles took us to the fair, I would be the one wanting to go on the most-dangerous looking rides, and when I did, I enjoyed it while my cousins whimpered.
I am not that daring to want to go to the moon or the outer space or to dive underwater where no one has been before, but I am not a scaredy chicken either.
To begin with, if I were a far-out daring person, I would have to have an unwavering self-belief and confidence in my abilities. Not me! Not really! No one is that perfect, and I think those who act it, are faking it.
Also, I can't say others' opinions do not influence me, because they do, at least sometimes, although I have a clear sense of right and wrong. Then, I don't actively seek out challenges unless they are already there and they appeal to me. Maybe that's why my achievements are my size and they fit me.
Then maybe, especially lately with age, I have grown to love my comfort zone and I don't like to be bothered by high-risk dangerous actions and such.
