Day 083d: On refusing to recline … (July 06, 2019)
“Most of our life’s voyages are mere armchair calculations, strategically charted ahead of time in some reclined state, designed to allow us to embark upon some supposedly grand journey without ever actually leaving the armchair. Real journeys, on the other hand – challenge both mind and body. Real journeys demand a facing of fear. Real journeys are undertaken for a higher purpose. Real journeys – the only ones worth walking – are always absent of furniture … With this in mind, it is crucial to remember that safety is not a destination we reach for, but rather a retreat we escape to. And if our lives are primarily marked by the regular search for safety, we will end up live the whole of it while traveling in reverse.” ~ inspired by Craig D. Lounsbrough
