I just started listening to Gloria Steinem’s new book My Life on the Road.
I’ll write more about it when I finish it. But there’s a quote from Ms. Steinem, who is 81, and still traveling, that I want to share now.
“When people ask me why I still have hope and energy after all these years, I always say: Because I travel. Taking to the road—by which I mean letting the road take you—changed who I thought I was. The road is messy in the way that real life is messy. It leads us out of denial and into reality, out of theory and into practice, out of caution and into action, out of statistics and into stories—in short, out of our heads and into our hearts.”
