"That cliche about the journey being more important than the destination? There's something in that. The biggest lesson that this very long, very hard walk might be teaching me is that happiness is not a finish line. And if we can't feel content on our journeys, amid the mess and the striving that we all inhabit, the open loops, the half-finished to-do lists, the could do better next times, then we might never feel it.
"A lot of people have asked me, 'What's next?' Right now, I'm very happy just recovering."
