The school you went to was built by a generation that wanted you to have one. The road outside your house was paved by a council you never voted for. The tradition of the Sunday family dinner was set up in a kitchen that no longer exists, by people you only half remember. By the time you arrive at any worthwhile place, somebody else has done part of the work of getting you there.
In a bamboo forest in southern Asia, a flight of stone steps climbs through green light. The steps are old, the treads worn smooth by feet long since gone. Up at the top, after a few hundred steps and an hour of climbing, there is a temple, a viewpoint, or just the spot where the path ends because somebody once decided it was enough. Whatever is up there was found and made reachable by somebody who never thought of you.
Reads alongside Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho, or any book about a path that turned out to be the destination.
Walking into a jungle is the closest most of us get to feeling like a guest. The air is wet on your skin within the first minute. There is a drip from somewhere above that does not stop for an hour. Something moves in a branch you cannot see and is gone before you have decided whether to be afraid. The trees have been doing this for centuries and the canopy does not really need you to be here. You stay anyway. It is the most alive you have felt in months.
