Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be
reminded of who I really am… Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your
friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of your food, your closet
full of your clothes, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you
aware of who it is that is having the experience. That’s not always comfortable, but it is always invigorating.
- Michael Crichton, Travels
Huh. Interesting thought. Personally, I think "direct experience" can be had other, more fun ways than travel. But I'm a homebody at heart. :)
