THE QUEST OF THE RAMBLING WANDERER

This is the ultimate mission for you, dear Wander Society member.

This wander will be more involved wandering than you have ever done. The exact form of the wandering cannot be written here, in part because it is secret, and in part because it is to be determined by you. However, know that it will be your greatest wandering ever, to be completed only after you have become a seasoned wanderer. The purpose of this mission is to solidify your commitment to the wandering path and to celebrate your achievements as a wanderer.

You must not take this task lightly. It will signify a great turning point in your journey, in the form of a deepening relationship with the self. This will be apparent by a change in your outlook, a belief in the sacred nature of your wanderings, and a deeply felt connection with the place in which you wander.

You will now devise a new wandering for yourself. This one will be longer than you have ever done before.

It should be something that you are not sure if you can do, that is to say, it should scare you a little. You should incorporate some of your passions and favorite activities. Some examples:

• A trip to a place you’ve never been
• Embarking on a project you’ve always wanted to do but were too scared to attempt
• A pilgrimage to a sacred place (the resting place of your favorite author)
• A crazy random adventure devised by you
