One of the reasons that the idea of a long pilgrimage appeals to me is the chance to have some time and space to reflect on what the next course my life should take. It's a way of heading off into the sunset a little to gain some separation from my day job from the last twenty years.
It's a bit like burning bridges (or my own ships) upon reaching a place that's rife with the potential for discovery. I'm not dissatisfied with my work, but over the last two decades my world view has matured a little, and it's time to get some distance and see if it holds together. I also want to get out on the trail and reconnect (or possibly connect for the very first time) with an American people that I take on faith to be mostly good honest, hard working folks.

Before all that can happen, we'll get through some moving activities tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. It rarely does go according to plan, but I'm looking forward to the adventure at any rate.
