The dream can also be one that involves hardship, slogging through a forest, paddling down a river, confronting suspicious people, living in a hostile place, testing your adaptability, hoping for some sort of revelation. All my traveling life, 40 years of peregrinating Africa, Asia, South America and Oceania, I have thought constantly of home—and especially of the America I had never seen. &#8220;I discovered I did not know my own country,&#8221; Steinbeck wrote in <em>Travels with Charley</em>, explaining why he hit the road at age 58.</p> <p>Paul Theroux, <em>Smithsonian Magazine</em>, September 2008</p>http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/44147293406http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/44147293406Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:04:05 -0600road triptravelsmithsoniansteinbeckamericawest<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzgvayXl5u1rp32b4o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://typewrittenword.tumblr.com/post/17698372815/submitted-by-cinnamonzen">typewrittenword</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Submitted by <a href="http://cinnamonzen.tumblr.com">cinnamonzen</a></p> </blockquote>http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41823908767http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41823908767Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:31:59 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e8c0d41788a222d2487f7b2b7480d3d6/tumblr_mf57l67Ehm1rt0kevo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pre-raphaelisme.tumblr.com/post/38311011653/a-study-for-a-naiad-by-john-william-waterhouse">pre-raphaelisme</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>A Study For A Naiad</em> by John William Waterhouse</p> </blockquote>http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41810299724http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41810299724Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:47:35 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr0ojxYTyD1qk0go1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://deadpaint.tumblr.com/post/10112222740/claude-monet-nympheas">deadpaint</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Claude Monet, <em>Nymphéas</em></p> </blockquote>http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41810022188http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41810022188Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:44:11 -0600“What would I do without the absurd and the ephemeral?”<br/><br/> - <em>Frida Kahlo, <em>The Diary Of Frida Kahlo</em> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mirroir.tumblr.com/">mirroir</a>)</em>http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41796870854http://caseyleah.tumblr.com/post/41796870854Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:35:40 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2wyb48Tt91qd1z4zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://phoebe-bird.tumblr.com/post/24323851330/so-many-reblogs-i-painted-this-on-the-isle-of">phoebe-bird</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>so many reblogs!
