Snapshots from my second week wwoofing on Orchard Farm Organics in Princeton, NJ.
"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man''s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Christopher McCandless, from Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild

Note that this was written by someone who ironically died pursuing his great "Alaskan Odyssey" adventure... but something to think about nonetheless. Good book so far.
