Summary

This quote suggests that being liberated from physical limitations does not necessarily guarantee true freedom or fulfillment. Just like a tree, which may be uprooted from one place to another but still depends on the soil for its nourishment and growth, humans also need a sense of grounding and purpose in life. Merely breaking free from external constraints does not automatically result in a fulfilled existence; one must also find their own sense of purpose and connection to truly experience freedom.

There's a nastiness out there that wants to harm me with words. These are my enemies - the ideologues, the populists, the columnists who don't like the fact that I take them on toe-to-toe. What I try to do is tell the truth. It's not the coin of the realm in politics.

If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can't go at dawn and not many places he can't go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking -- one sport you shouldn't have to reserve a time and a court for.
