Today, I had three hours of relatively unstructured time and I'm ending it feeling more convinced than ever that the N2N-TCP is calling. Three hours isn't really enough time to escape the urban area I'm in, and the options for doing something seem relatively limited.
One thing that's available in spades is the opportunity to pay homage at the temples of materialism. They're ubiquitous, but with minimalism on the mind they don't have the draw for me that they once held in the past. Going to the mall to look at things I don't need feels like a big waste of time. I'd rather be out alone on the trail, encountering vistas like this one.
On the surface, watching the sunset isn't any more or less valuable than walking the mall, but for some reason it feels closer to whatever it is that I'm seeking in the journey.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, but it's clear that I have to focus my efforts on making the Transcontinental Pilgrimage a priority.
