The answer to whether you are walking or wandering often changes from season to season – life is fickle in that way. We asked some of the folks we most admire to reflect on whether they feel like they are walking or wandering and have shared some of their responses below.

I would say I’m walking a path. Even though it would appear to be a broken one. Wandered off of numerous times! As I’ve gotten older, I can see the connections that weren’t visible at first glance. Everything leads somewhere . We build on our strengths and mistakes. A product of living experiences. Read more>>

I would say i am wandering within my path, in a sens of keeping enough freedom…to stay free! As an artist the wandering, the open minded aspects of the quest, are to me indissociable of my art. Art is freedom, yet the path is narrow and hard. Read more>>

I’m walking a path now, but it took a lot of wandering to find it. For a while, I was saying yes to everything, trying to figure out which version of me fit. Now the path feels clearer: I’m focused on building BASILICA as a creative and operational home for artists and ideas I believe in. Read more>>

I’ve always wandered down a path. 🙂 Enjoying the walk down the path and also open to wandering off the beaten path to see what’s in the dense forest. For most of my life, I’ve taken risks like moving to another city without visiting first and not having a job. Read more>>

I am definitely a wandering path! I enjoy not knowing where life will take me. With faith, trust, and confidence, I know the destination I am headed to will be there when I arrive. No matter where you are in life or your career, every dream you prayed for is now your reality! Allow the mysteries to unfold at your own time. Keep wandering!! Read more>>

I’ve done both. I’ve walked with direction, and I’ve wandered on purpose. One of my favorite quotes is “Not all those who wander are lost,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, and it has stayed with me because it reflects my journey. Read more>>

I’ve spent many years chasing summits, in the mountains, in my career, and in the constant pull toward whatever challenge lies just over the next horizon. I’ve been fortunate to find some of those paths early: I built a career in cybersecurity that keeps me both grounded and learning, and I’ve found meaning in testing myself through mountaineering and mountain biking.

Definitely walking. When you’ve balanced your life, your ego, your fear and made peace with yourself…..and .learned to listen to your intuition, you see everything clearly and you see through things even clearer. But when it’s right, …it’s right and it works in all the ways. Read more>>
