One benefit of travel is the opportunity to see the world's soul in the concrete and discover the many ways life can be lived out. If we reduce travel to transportation, we withhold soul from our movements, and then, for all our moving around and getting from place to place, the soul goes unfed. Travel is a profound mystery, but for it to speak to the soul, we have to go about it with care, especially inviting the soul to share in the experience.
— Thomas Moore, The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life
