Preface

The thought came to me that I would travel across British Columbia staying at retreat centers. It was a ridiculous idea—an absurd mix of consumerism and spirituality. St. Benedict used the word “vagabond” for those who “spend all their lives wandering about through different provinces, dwelling three or four days now in one monastery, then in another.” What finally persuaded me to go was reading Samuel Johnson’s Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. He went simply because it was something he wanted to do.
