Post Discovery - Thin Places

For me, when I become immersed in an idea it is though I become magnetic. Ideas or articles that have a direction connection to what I am doing smack me in the face, and say "I am here for you". The following article came to my attention as I was about to throw away a pile of old news papers. If you have an interest in the meaning of sense of place this is for you.

TRAVEL, like life, is best understood backward but must be experienced forward, to paraphrase Kierkegaard. After decades of wandering, only now does a pattern emerge. I’m drawn to places that beguile and inspire, sedate and stir, places where, for a few blissful moments I loosen my death grip on life, and can breathe again. It turns out these destinations have a name: thin places.
