The Sauntering Way

Accompanying individuals and organizations on their journeys…

Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It’s a beautiful word… Back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going they would reply, “A la sainte terre” (to the Holy Land). And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers.

– John Muir

My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing things – Marcel Proust
