[at-l] Dancing to a different drummer



I recall with clarity the *first* moment I realized I had left my "real
self" on the trail.
I was in a state close to mourning for several weeks after.

I believe the following quote applies not just to knowledge, but also to
peace and solitude, happiness, love and great friends (just to name a few)

"The peculiarity of knowledge is that those who really thirst for it always
get it."
     -- Thomas Jefferson
