Thanks for the video. The guy spoke almost too fast for me to be able to focus. I hope he has really found joy. I refuse to say more! I am just glad the sun is shining here, and now! But why do I walk? I walk because I want to, and to spend time with a friend in pursuit of a meaningful time of just being alive and being in the moment. And yes: it is amazing, walking in the steps of those from so long ago... amazing.
