(you know the one) is a wonderful sentiment in many ways. When one is restless it can inspire you to get out the door. It happened to Muir himself, he worked in toxic textile factory and was almost blinded in an industrial accident. Upon recovery he decided to try and walk to the Amazon river and travel it's length. He became very ill (malaria I think) before he even left the country and turned his feet West. He landed at a sawmill in Yosemite Valley. He had traveled as long and as far as any Western explorer. Yet, when he found his home he lived there and explored it and fought for it until he died there. It was in his home, that he authored that famous quote. <br /><br />Travel guided John Muir's ideals and gave a tumultuous life direction. But ultimately it was where he made a permanent home that impacted him the most. <br /><br />Some people are born with direction, others need to do a little searching. But once you know where you're going it's nice to have a place to leave and come back too that you can call home.Jordan Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195211146038529792noreply@blogger.com
