The following is an excerpt from the journal kept by Patricia Diehl during her travels.
Every journey begins with a first step.
But I wonder how to identify that first step. I did quite a lot of writing at that time about what I wanted to do with this life that looked so blank after the ending of a 32 year marriage. I want to see what the expression of such a world view might look like. In short, I want to help dream a future for humankind and experiment with the possibilities. I thought I might find a way of life that would fill my desire for family living and fit with my passion for an alternative study program.
