june26walk1 - The Monday Morning Memo

“This was our third day here, the longest we’d stayed in one place since the journey started. One trait all animals share, people included, no matter where we are, or where we wish to be, if we’re there longer than a day, we try to make home of it. But the plains are not for homebuilding. Not enough resources. No shelter. The plains are for the vagabonds, wanderers, and cowboys. Their home is the saddle. The sky is their roof. The ground is their bed. What they lack in material comfort is regained in the knowledge that they are always home. To them, the journey is the destination. Should they find gold at the end of the rainbow, they would leave it there and seek another, choosing freedom over the burden of the pot. I haven’t thought once of Oregon, no dreams of the ocean or snow-covered mountains. I only dream of the journey. That is all. No gold for me. Just the rainbow.”

- 18-year old Elsa Dutton in "1883" episode 7
