Daily Thought Provokers.
Your true life you may never discover
if you hide on your bed, under a cover.

Each section is about 300 words.
Each daily section of Long Trips To Nowhere starts with a quote, usually short. Next is a paragraph or three of deeper thoughts inviting cogitation. Finally a quick poem is added, usually meant to tie the pieces together. Of course I'm not much in favor of always following rules, so you will find variations.

One section a day will get you through this book in a month — quotes, deep thoughts, poetry and all.
LTTN is your particular challenge.
Some entries may intrigue, some anger, some cause nods of agreement, and others will bring laughter.
All will provoke thought and help open your mind to wonder.

Joy. Not mere pleasures but enduring joy. Your joy.
You had it as a child. Grasp for it again.
Discoveries can again be your . . .
favorite toy.

Your feet want to wander.
Your mind longs to wonder.
Your life needs the grandeur.
Far beyond these insubstantial walls.
