One man's wilderness has captivated me this summer

Have you ever had a moment in your life when you really wanted to do something? A time when you, for a split second, thought about throwing caution to the wind? Does the thought creep into your mind 'I wonder what my life could have been like?'
 
For most of us, that is something that we all have experienced at one point or another. Usually those “what ifs” occur most frequently when things aren’t going as we planned. Life sometimes hands us some rough times and before we know it years have slipped by.

For millions of us, those moments come and go and we go about our lives and routines. We even completely forget about those daring thoughts we once had or discount them under the heading of “not possible.”
