Ponder this quote at start of Lonesome Dove:
“All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. – T. K. Whipple, Study Out the Land.”
It’s both physical and metaphor. All need purpose and with that is the desire for adventure. What is your purpose/adventure?
