Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for July 9th!

It’s by Loren Eiseley, an American writer and poet who wrote scientific concepts in easily understood terms.  He lived from 1907 to 1977.

“The journey is difficult, immense. We will travel as far as we can, but we cannot in one lifetime see all that we would like to see or to learn all that we hunger to know.”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.

“Yup, that’s true.  Travel is hard work because it’s a big world, and the rigors of travel wear you out.  If you traveled constantly your entire life, you would not even come close to visiting every well-known tourist hotspot, let alone all the off-the-beaten-path places that are also quite fascinating to visit.  Part of what motivates certain people to travel as much as they can is their desire to know more about the world, both past and present.  So, yes, we can never satisfy our hunger for knowledge either.  But that doesn’t mean we can’t try!”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in July. I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
