Hitchhiking: Â Â minimalism / "zen" method

[quote:0a81e2db41="Grandaddy24"]Another time i had been walking for a bit, then i saw.. hmm.. i think it was a dragonfly.. perched on some tall grass about 20 feet away from the road. i walked out into the brush to get a closer look, because i thought that this particular dragonfly was exceptionally beautiful. after i had observed it for a bit, i stumbled back out onto the shoulder just in time for an older gentleman, a former hitcher, driving a truck to notice me and stop. He told me that he had almost missed seeing me.
i suppose that when you show nature a bit of appreciation, it returns the favor in a timely fashion. It's all about appreciation.[/quote:0a81e2db41]


us travellers have a term for this, we call it "cohension".
it comes from the "essence", "something that has to be experienced, not explained"
