A Pilgrim's Journey Through a Holy Land

i walked from mexico to canada through the pacific crest chain of mountains, two thousand, 653 shn miles. i did it largely as a pilgrim sauntering through a holy land. Every time one of those really bad days would happen, i would go back to that thought: why am i out here? I can quit. No one's holding a gun to my head. And no one's even going to judge me."
