Day 109e: To walk a wilder Way … (August 16, 2019)
And here, in the early moments of only my second day of walking in the West, I was shown without doubt or question that the American version of The Path would not be nearly as smooth* …
*In truth, the “shoulder” pictured below was actually one of the more pilgrim-friendly trails I would be offered over the course of the next several weeks, and yet I did not know this at the time.
“The righter path is often characterized by a rougher road … So be fanatically positive and even militantly optimistic as you walk your way. If something is not to your liking – and it will regularly not be to your liking, do not change your route. Change your liking.” ~ via Lailah Akita & Rick Steves
