Quick note

Been reading "Songlines" by Bruce Chatwin. He is an English nomad and travel writer. This particular book is about a journey to Oz to learn about aboriginal songlines; their ancestral maps of the land that explain each clan's, or "dreaming's" history....interesting shit to say the least. He gets rained out for a brief period and is holed up in a caravan for ten days or so. He brought a stack of old travel notebooks with him to go through and he picks and packs some of the more useful points into the current book. This dude has been everywhere that any nomads have been, gnarly. He is just amused by man's instinctual desire to wander, the nature of human restlessness, as I. Here's a snippet from that section of the book"

"You cannot travel on the path before you have become the Path itself" - Gautama Buddha

"Most of us, not being heroes, dawdle through life, mis-time our cues, and end up in our various emotional messes. The Hero does not. The Hero - and this is why we hail him as a hero - takes each ordeal as it comes, and chalks up point after point." - Bruce Chatwin

"Our nature lies in movement; complete calm is death." - Pascal, Pensees
