Hey all!
Reading You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers right now--after it sat on my nightstand for 3 years. Of course, it invited me in at just the right time.
Here's a passage with Hand, one of the main dudes, philosophizing that struck me on the bus this morning and I just had to share:
"I want others to go out in the world with an idea, with intentions and means, and come back with a story about how their actions affected the world and how they themselves were shaped by the results. I have a belief that such endeavors can improve the world, however recklessly, especially when these people go forward and interact, give, solve, change the situations they encounter..."
Sounds like a kindred spirit.
How are you going out into the world? On vacation--and today?
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. - Robert Louis Stevenson
