Welcome to Litsy!

I found the card in the used book. I looked him up. He passed away a year and a half ago. Finding things in books is awesome!

I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
[ . . . ]

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
[ . . . ]

Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.

Abandoned 15% of the way into the audiobook. Gushy, new agey twaddle.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Reaffirms and validates basically everything I believe. The gist of it is: the things you own end up owning you, seek experiences rather than money, read a lot, and walk a lot.

“The relinquishment of the need to make more money than we need allows us the greatest freedom.”

Wandered (🤭😜😆) across this on the library shelf and snagged it as I love WRECK THIS JOURNAL. It‘s not what I was expecting but I‘m intrigued.

#SolviturAmbulando. I love this book! The overall message is a good one to reflect on and circle back to.

Honest confession: I'm still not sure the Wander Socety exists or was it a clever invention by author/publisher? I tried to get into her Wreck This Journal, but it was too contrived for me. Which led to my questioning of this book. Yet, thee message is a solid one and I still love this book!

So excited to pick this up! Tell you more after my first wander!

This book has been my go-to gift since I read this earlier this year. Today on the blog I have my Wanderer themed gift guide up, starting with this book! http://www.foldedpagesdistillery.com/2016/11/folded-pages-gift-guide-wanderers.h...

This secret society book was just what I need to went back to Nature. Such a nice experience!

Absolutely love and adore this book and its focus on going outside and letting your creative nature surface through wandering. Take an unplanned walk and see where you end up. Let your mind wander, question, think, and discover. Cannot recommend enough.

Great little book about wandering through nature and reconnecting to our environment. Includes a variety of simple experiments to "creatively disrupt everyday life." Using our powers of observation and openness, we can fill the hole left in us by a life ruled by technology. Loved it.

Want this book. #LifeGoals

So excited about the possibility of adventure this book holds!! #summerplans #wanderlust

Nice idea, but the whole thing just came off as too contrived and cheesy for me.

"Experimenting with being a spy" You know me so well

What a pretty book. And there are stickers!

About to join The Wander Society starting my trip with this beautiful book.

Very different...but delightful! Really makes you want to slow down and get back to nature and wander. Also, it has a great booklist in there.

Look what I picked up (and took for a wander - photo taken after dark due to extensive wandering 😊 )

LOVED THIS! This book was so completely and totally up my eclectically-nerdy alley it was as if it was researched and written just for me! I may never leave home without this book again!

It has arrived!! I have been eagerly anticipating it's arrival, and now it is here! I am 20 pages in and very very hooked!! Thanks to @SharonGoforth for turning me on to this brilliant find!

Look what came today!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟A fun read presented in a clever format. What I liked best is the list of authors for suggested reading. This is one book I will definitely be reading over and over again.

Read it. That is all. (Just a few of the many notes and quotes I wrote down from this book.)

A secret society for inquisitive minds? Sign me up!

I'm so in love with this book. It's so close to how I already wander on my daily walks, but I know I have more to discover, see, and hear. Also love that the book is small enough to slip in a jacket pocket.

I love this book.
