…it’s nuts…over 50+ armed conflicts going on in the world right now…we should be flying space dragons instead we are still throwing rocks…i don’t see how the empowered should have as much as they do…i don’t understand why we won’t run together…away from these decisions and emotions…some things don’t need sequels or versions…war feels like one…like after the first war we should have all raised our hands and said “woops our bad”…the fart are we doing…
Wonderful story linking past to the present. I love your last sentence. I did not know the history of trekking, thank you!
I wonder if the trekkers also got relief from the horrible stress of being bombed by the stress and anxiety relieving effects of physical activity and by the healing power of time in nature? I recommend the Nov 15,2024 podcast “10% Happier with Dan Harris” where Dan interviews Dacher Keltner.
Like everyone else, I've seen movies with scenes depicting the sheltering in the London Underground without ever knowing how discouraged it was by the government -- what an amazing story, Sam 👏
Initially discouraged, at least! It would take a much deeper look at the sources, but in those early weeks of the bombing, you get the sense everyone in government was scrambling. Indeed, the Tube stations were not super secure, especially those on lines not far under the surface. For example, on October 14, an armor-piercing bomb landed on Balham Station and the platform tunnel collapsed, killing 68 people.
This story is everything I like to read about, thank you!
Hey thanks so much, Lee! I hustled this weekend to put it together given current events so that means a lot.

Maybe, but I think given that it was winter and early spring; it was likely pretty uncomfortable for anyone without shelter.
