Will you retire in a sofa?
This Monday quote was born from a combination of happy encounters and dialogues. My good friend @macchiata gently sent me this photograph to use on the Morning Quote - Thank you!
Later I found myself talking to @richardcrill on the Freedom Tribe Discord channel. I've just met him, but it's one of those persons that you can just sit and talk for hours.
Our subject was of course related to nature , freedom , living life fully . Among the lines on the chat we were bringing some important names to the table, whom are somehow unknown for many travellers. Guys like Dick Proenneke and his documentary Alone In The WIlderness, or Alexander Supertrump and the movie WIld.
Richard came up with this guy, Harry Lee McGinnis, I openned the video and the first phrase the guy says is today's quote. He then continued saying, "if you retire, don't go home and sit on the sofa". If felt like a punch to my face and I realised that his words should me spreaded.
Harry Lee McGinnis is a 80 year old guy travellig the world on foot - if this isn't motivational enough, I don't know what is.
