I have always longed to be part of the outward life, to be out there at the edge of things, to let the human taint wash away in emptiness and silence as the fox sloughs his smell into the cold unworldliness of water; to return to town a stranger. Wandering flushes a glory that fades with arrival. J.A. Baker
About This Quote

The idea of wandering is one of the most beautiful ideas in the world. It is a beautiful image of not belonging to anywhere or anyone, but being free to go wherever you want. When people are wandering, they are kind, happy and content. They are not bound by rules or obligations they have signed up to. To be able to wander brings freedom that most people never experience.
