"
I have always thought that nothing is better than a horseback ride since the path is made of infinite arrivals. It’s possible to arrive at a crossroad, a flower, a tree, the cloud shadows on the sand of the path; it’s possible to arrive at a stream, at the top of a mountain, at strange stones. It’d seem that the path is making up a surprise to the traveler’s soul’s enjoyment.
