Wander, wander

I thought that wandering was a positive quirky part of my being, but I am not so sure it is just quirky! In reading Keri Smith's book-The Wander Society, she states "  It teaches us what we are capable of..."  Kinda soul  foodish, I guess. Even Abraham Maslow said of roaming-" peak experiences"... Soooo, Keri first started this interest in the Wander Society when she wandered into an old book store and picked up Walt Whitman-Leaves of Grass..there were notations on this society!!!More recently, flyers have been found on college campuses-one even on the bike path in Northampton, Massachusetts Anyone  else heard of this??? I plan on reading some Walt Whitman, it has been a long time. Now, earlier in my blog I mentioned that I said as a young girl- I want to suck the juices out of life. Never, ever understood where that came from but, in Keri's book, she has a quote of Henry David Thoreau-"I want to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life"
