For the past 2 months, I`ve spent mornings enjoying my breakfast and coffee with The Artist`s Path in 500 Walks, a 400 page smaller coffee-table book edited by Kath Stathers. As the title says, "Follow the inspired footsteps of William Shakespeare, Frida Kahlo, Otis Redding, and more"... offering actual walks or treks through cities, mountains, and coastlines that actual composers, authors, painters and more travelled. Full and half-page photographs and illustrated maps with mileage accompany paragraphs about each person, such as Beethoven`s favorite walk in Austria, where he stayed to study with Mozart and unwind in the forest while struggling with increasing deafness. On the next page is the Walk of Peace in Slovenia, setting for Hemingway`s Farewell to Arms featuring a trail near the Julian Alps that follows the turquoise Soca River. This book is an absolute dream for the Wikipedia freak - you`ll want to play the music by the composers you read about, read excerpts from famous writing, and research each location as you turn the pages! There is so much to learn from this book, a beautiful reminder of the inspiring lives and places that surround us.

“I’d slipped into a vein of hozho somehow. There was no end to the beauty. It seemed to attract itself, and I got to be the witness. The goodness of people wasn’t so shocking anymore – it was natural. What was shocking, however, was the juxtaposition of this goodness to all the suffering that surrounded it.”
"Walking to Listen" by Andrew Forsthoefel

Andrew shares his remarkable journey of walking the United States from east to west using his authentic language of humor and humility encompassed through an innocent lens of love. His story is pure proof of the law of attraction and if you know, you know. Andrew Forsthoefel takes a walk through each state from Pennsylvania to California with not only the help of Walt Whitmans (Leaves of Grass), Rainer Maria Rilkes (Letters to a Young Poet) and Kahlil Gibrans (The Prophet) famous words of hope and inspiration but with the intention of trusting in the good of humanity. I’m a sucker for reading a story along a timeline, following a direction, in search of finding purpose, but maybe, just maybe, the plot twist here is, nothing`s ever linear and/or as expected.
