Day 074e: We are Adventurers, all … (June 27, 2019)
“Pilgrims are adventurers all. They know not when they set out what the results of their day’s walk will be; yet it is a strange experience, is it not, that such bountiful gifts and refreshing fruits always come to them – at the very least an inadvertent mood of tranquil meditation, out of which arises intermittent musings, half-conscious soliloquies, and a feast of mental orderliness — a frame of mind in which decisions are made without effort, and truth comes without argument? Every such adventure that is contained in this simple and primitive pastime, so near to and indeed intermingled with Mother Earth, attracts not only the simple walker who would claim no other qualifications than that he loves to tramp old highways and older hills, but also philosophers and poets and men of peace; those who would do more than merely walk – those who would change the world with their walking.” ~ inspired by Will Grant
