Listening to NPR this morning, I learned that journalist Paul Salopek is preparing to walk from the Rift Valley in Ethiopia to Chile. Africa, Asia, North America, South America. The Bering Strait. I am beyond impressed. In so, so many ways.
On one level, this must be his passion. You don't make a 300,000,000-step journey in order to collect a paycheck. And yet, he is getting paid for this; this is his work. National Geographic is funding much of his walk and will be publishing updates from the travel at Out of Eden -- A Walk through Time.
As always, I am excited about purpose. When people manage to get beyond working and into fulfilling and maybe even a calling. I'm feeling inspired right now.
