A fool on the path


I leave in a few day's time for the Indian Himalaya. I was thinking of all the new paths I will walk and the paths I have walked. I, then thought, maybe I could become a fool on the path. I was reminded of one of Buddha Shakyamuni's sayings:

" How long is the road to the weary. How long is the wandering of the fool who cannot find the path"

Kia ora Bob,

Best of luck on the travels. I was in Uttaranchal around November-December '06; the Garhwal and Kumaon areas. Lots of memories from there (most of them good, fortunately!) Some day I might even return there — but the world's big, and a lot of places I've never seen still call me. I guess it's wanderlust...

I don't need to say, enjoy it! I know you will.

What an insightful theme, "A fool on the path". One can learn so much from adventure, whether purposeful or not I'd say.

Good luck as you explore.

Cheers
