I can’t say, over the miles, that I had learned what I had wanted to know because I hadn’t known what I wanted to know. But I did learn what I didn’t know I wanted to know.

quote from Blue Highways, by William Least Heat Moon
one of my favourite books purchased by me soon after it came out
It is one of the great regrets of my life that I did not do a similar trip and book, that is, ride the blue highways of Canada. I suppose I lacked the push to summon the nerve to do it. Instead I kept plugging along at work that was not much for the heart and soul but put some cash in my pocket and the soulessness of it finally burned me to the ground.
