Sunday will mark the start of a 2 week roadtrip. There is no real agenda, although there are a few places and people I want to see. The point though is to do some meandering rather than keep some tight schedule. It’s great to have the opportunity to do something like this and I’m grateful that my family is tolerant enough to allow such an adventure.



The key to this activity is to gain some perspective through movement and long periods of relative isolation. Driving long distances does this for me – enough brainpower is directed at the road to keep some degree of focus, there is some destination nebulously in the future, and I’m physically constrained and as isolated from the world, while still able to observe it. This provides a the right conditions for deep concentrated thought to occur and that’s critical right now as I consider what to engage in next.

Sunday, I’ll start north. Periodic blog updates will be posted as internet access is available.
