As a child, I loved to wander.
The bushland surrounding my home was an endless mystery, fueled by a potent mix of ancient stories and my own vivid imagination.
My 'adventures' were often nothing more than aimless wanderings that led me further from home and safety, and while I was seldom concerned, I'm sure I contributed to my parents aging process through those years.

Getting the big picture helps. It helps if you are momentarily lost in the bush. It helps even today when you are driving in an unfamiliar city.
