Journeys

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will - whatever we may think. They flower spontaneously out of the demand of our nature - and the best of them lead us not only outwards in space, but inward as well. Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.
