“A VERY WISE PERSON ONCE TOLD ME THAT THE BEST WAY TO LIVE A LIFE IS TO PERCEIVE IT AS BEING CAPABLE OF SETTING AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING PROFOUND.
I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO DO EXACTLY THIS. BY EMBRACING WANDERLUST WITH RUNAWAY ABANDON, I HAVE TRIED TO SET AN EXAMPLE THAT, IF YOU WANDER FAR ENOUGH FOR LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL COME TO A POINT WHERE YOU FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FEEL OUT-OF PLACE OR LONELY.
“I ALSO WANTED TO SET AN EXAMPLE THAT, BY OCCASIONALLY RETURNING TO PLACES WHERE YOU ONCE FELT LOST OR MISERABLE, YOU LET THE “OLD YOU” GET A GOOD LOOK AT THE “NEW YOU”, AND IN THE PROCESS, YOU SLOWLY RUN OUT OF PEOPLE YOU STILL NEED TO FORGIVE AND THINGS YOU STILL REGRET.
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH, DEAR FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR, FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH.
P.S. ALWAYS REMEMBER
ROGER O. HEGBARTH.”
