Sometimes you have to go before you know. Exploration begins with an open mind, an insistent drive and some ingenuity. It requires some risk. Embodying this spirit of my Mormon heritage and folklore in today’s modern world, every week The Wayfarer travels to discover new places, people, ideas and traditions, keeping in mind the sage words of Lao Tzu:
“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”
Referenced in pop and Mormon culture, wayfarers are small sail boats used for day journeys; hip and edgy mid-century sunglasses introduced by Ray Ban that revolutionized eye-wear beyond the typical metal frames of the day; and the inspiration for a beloved Mormon and Christian hymn. Capturing the symbolism of all three, this column can be one small vessel we use to embark on exploration that changes our everyday view, while honoring that from which we came.
Join us Mondays as we wander and roam around the world.
An open heart and mind is definately required to learn and experience that which we individually need to advance into godhood
What an inspiring site !!! Just love it.
This is I did not know -man is nothing. Once you leave the small geographic area of the Western United States you start to realize the world is large, LARGER, LARGER THAN I KNEW. So many people living their own truth, their own lives, and their own path. Does God love us all? How can we be so secure in a religion that caters to a small region geographically? There are soooooo many people and faiths in the world. This I do know – God does love us all, so something has to bend.
In my experience, these are excellent very casual shoes to wear around, go to the beach with, change into at the end of the day. I find them supportive, comfortable and comforting to aching feet. I also own an earlier version, the Walkstar, in Bronze. I’ve worn them for over a year and they’ve held up very well. I’ve worn them in the rain and they are none the worse for wear.
