Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

Earlier this week we received the prettiest surprise in the mail from @RedCrossCanada! The ink pen and gold stickers were a gift from the organization, for our donations after my Dad passed away in December 2015.

I was mesmerized with the beauty of these water lilies after it has been washed off of rain and the clouds ignite the sky as the sun sets beyond the horizon. This shot was taken at Dingin River, Magdalena, Pagsanjan, Philippines.
This room is memories frozen in time, yet unreadable. Untouchable. They even told me it wasn't photographable. (Oops).
But you see, I want to feel this room. I want to hold my hand up to the window and watch the way sunlight envelops it. I want to sit on the floor and hear the wood's creaky stories. I want to run my fingertips over book pages and feel the dust of years gone by.
You are that room.
I want to be enveloped by the Sonlight shining through you. I want to hear your stories of when things didn't go quite right. I want to run my fingertips over yours and feel the trials of years gone by. #sweeterpoetry
