Wandering Without a Map

As usual +nomad dimitri gets me wondering, mulling over one of those delightful contradictions in personality. How is it that I’m such a proponent of serendipity, of being open to things we are not in search of, and yet so unable to do as he does and wander without a map? So many conflicting stories. Which should I tell? Perhaps it all comes down to my answer when asked why

Trying to capture something makes me focus outward, pay attention. It is also the beginning of my synthesizing the experience. Of becoming actively involved in it and not just a passive observer.
