Excerpts from the book:
Poetry and Beauty
"Poetry and beauty
are born out of pain.
This is their glory,
this is our gain."
The Spirit of Adventure
"May adventure find you
and may you find it."
Re-Travel
"Travel reveals
the unknown.
Travel rejuvenates
the heart and soul.
Travel reroutes
the routine.
Travel redeems
the traveller's dream."
Fool's Errand
"If being in love is a fool's errand,
then I have travelled wide and far.
Then I am its greatest champion,
then I am its greatest star.
If being in love is a fool's errand,
then I am on its never-ending quest.
Then I am its greatest hero,
then I am its greatest jest."

Editorial Reviews
I consider myself an adventurer. I travel by bicycle and live on the road. I find that few people understand the experiences that I've had, but Tarr is obviously one of those few.He uses simple, charming verse to put across the feelings that adventurers have in private as they face loneliness, difficulty, danger, and of course the ultimate question of their purpose in life and in risking their life.Ultimately, Tarr's sense of faith in humanity and in the sacred shines through even the passages that reflect on the hardest times. This book is a treasure that truly communicates the joy of adventure.

A wonderful gift by a wonderfully gifted poet! Simple, yet very eloquent!

Love, Adventure and Other Noble Quests (Thoughts Discovered - S. Tarr
Preface
Life is a journey, a journey with many travellers, each living their unique, yet familiar, story. I am one of them, a traveller on this great journey of life, and this is an account my story.
What follows is volume one of a collection of the many thoughts, ideas, philosophical musings and theological reasonings which I have been documenting for the last 9 or so years, and up until the first publication of this book in 2013.
There are five volumes in total, in the Thoughts Discovered series, each dealing with a different theme and realm of thought, yet all fitting together to tell a greater story.
My hope in creating this book is that it may encourage you, inspire you and perhaps even challenge you in some of the views you have on life and our profound place in
