following that damn blaze

A year or two ago, I read an article profiling hikers who had just completed the Appalachian Trail, a trek of five or six months of through hiking from Georgia to Maine. Some had specific plans and responsibilities to which they were returning; others were not sure of their next step. Just about all, though, agreed with the words of one hiker: "Life was so simple on the trail. All I had to do was put one foot in front of the other, and follow that damn blaze."

I think this sums up all of the great teachings. This is a good life.

Best wishes to all,
Candace
