Thank you for an inspiring account of hope... for me at least. I'd forgotten how wonderful it feels to collect maps for an upcoming trip, getting all excited and overwhelmed and in the end just flying by the seat of my pants. Long ago I'd done just that, I traveled halfway around the world with just my bike and whatever I could stuff in the carriers. I had maps and I really enjoyed looking at them but the memories I have now (30 years later) are of the people I met when I wasn't looking at the map. This story has stirred feelings of exploration and adventure and going on a walk-about. I am going to make a point of doing just this... in my own neighborhood.
