Sneedville To Kalamazoo -- The Walk That Wasn't
Did you ever want to really get away from it all? To leave behind work, family, friends — all the people and things you are so familiar with? To put a few essentials in a backpack, and just walk through places you’ve never walked before, as Heinlein would say, a stranger in a strange land? To get some experience of how and where other people live?
Did you really?
Neither did I.
And yet, in the summer of 2007, that’s exactly what I found myself doing. I struggled to take a walk I had imagined, and learned, time and again, to let go and accept the ride I was intended to take. I had to learn to let myself be led instead of leading. To see instead of watching. To listen instead of hearing.
I needed to clear the constant babble from my mind in order to hear the still, small voice others have spoken of. Sometimes the voice seemed to be my own, saying things I had heard before but dismissed. On this trip, I tried to listen. Never did the voice tell me to do things that seemed hurtful. Sometimes improbable or unusual. Often not practical or comfortable. But where I followed, I often saw with new eyes. Heard with new ears. Felt with a new heart.
In words and pictures, this book retraces that journey.
