the man who sticks to his plan will become what he used to want to be

Having a peripatetic nature means having to come up with excuses for short attention spans and aimless wandering. It means risking the epithet "lost soul" and giving the impression of being allergic to stability and all the evolutionary values said to be genetically selected for. It may also mean a kind of perpetual escape, never knowing a place well enough to have its tentacles overwhelm you and change you in the overwhelming. It may also mean succumbing to weakly constituted romanticism, fueled by a lifetime of stories whose fiction always proves so unbearably enticing. It is the fix for nostalgic addiction.

More to come.
