"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel.  
That is the purpose of life."

~ the (fictional) motto of Life Magazine, as expressed in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

 

Have you seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?  If you haven't yet, do yourself a favour and rent it.  Admittedly, there are times when you're watching it when you'll feel like you have to suspend your desire for logic, but its message is sweet and pure, and the cinematography is profoundly breathtaking.  And nothing will make you want to book a flight and go explore like this movie will.  

On that note, I'm on a plane myself:  I'm off to Atlanta today.  You can always see what I'm up to on Instagram or Facebook, but if you're in Atlanta and you see me, please say hi -- I'd love see you.
