Description
Many common ordinary events that happen to us daily are bristling with tips and jaw-dropping surprises.
Your garbage disposal goes on the blink; the balls your neighbor’s dog plays with keep landing in your backyard; you’re kissed by your aunt and reek of her perfume; a bird crashes into your office window; and someone has dumped a box of erasers on your front lawn.
These randomly occurring trivial incidents intrude upon our lives relentlessly. We can’t escape them. We don’t even pick them. They pick us, then trap us in a web of the commonest, most boring stuff that ever existed. Most of them are so dull, irksome and obnoxious we consider them a total waste of our time and energy. They interfere with our plans. They irritate and distract us. They can even plunge us into foul moods.
And yet…looked at in the right way, they can be helpful, supportive, compassionate and even wise. Treated as geocaches, they could make any day superb!
The word “geocaching†refers to GEO – physical and human landscapes on earth – and to CACHING, the process of hiding and finding treasure in human landscapes. Since May 3, 2000, when David Ulmer placed the first cache near Portland, Oregon, hundreds of thousands of geocachers have been hunting down more than a million geocaches. These are registered on various websites online, and are placed in over 100 countries around the world on all seven continents.
Normally, using multi-million dollar satellites via a hand-held GPS unit, geocachers look for hidden stashes on remote hiking trails, dense forests and even within urban city centers. The rewards? Ostensibly dollar-store trinkets. However, every geocacher fan knows there’s more. The excitement of the chase, the meeting of difficult challenges, visiting new places, learning new things.
Now there’s a new game in which random daily events are becoming the latest geocacher’s paradise. Similar to a scavenger hunt and because of its broad gamut of personal rewards (practical tips, motivation, emotional support, perspective-shifting experiences), this new sport is becoming a wholesome pastime for individuals of all ages, as well as for their families, friends, classes and work teams. It’s all about discovering many trite daily events do contain caches of considerable personal value. Treasure that’s personally relevant treasure. Treasure that’s real treasure, so artfully hidden it takes cleverness and persistence to hunt it down.
With no monetary expense, and using sharp perception instead of a GPS unit, you also, as treasure hunter, can learn to spot trite daily happenings that are geocaches and claim their rewards hiding in plain sight.
The challenge of the game is to encourage your mind to get off its beaten path and shift to experience a new dimension in which these puzzle caches can be identified and opened. Geocaching with trivial daily events is finding secret treasures hidden within them. And this is done by decrypting the drama the randomly occurring insignificant event is portraying.
Here’s a simple, easy way to enjoy your everyday world becoming an exotic new environment, hauntingly compassionate, arty and entertaining. Discover the how and why. Learn the simple rules and play this fascinating game which can give you practical tips to reach your immediate goals, moral support when you need it most, fun, amusement, and experiences to catapult you into a new way of looking at your world. By the way, you may find your world too intriguing ever to despair.
