After yesterday's serious post, I came across the following article from the New Yorker, "Journal From a #Blessed Road Trip, Inspired By Henry David Thoreau", in my Facebook feed. "Oh goody," I thought. More road trip/pilgrimage accounts. It didn't take too long to figure out it's a parody. And a funny one. I laughed really hard while worrying if I sometimes write like this. My favorite entry was May 8.
It's good not to take yourself too seriously. As one of Thoreau's contemporaries, Robert Louis Stevenson said, "Sit loosely in the saddle of life."
