Author of quotes: Cheryl Strayd

Loneliness always seemed to me the most appropriate place. Though it was not as space, room into which I could retire and be the one who actually is.

Walking is fundamentally different from other ways of moving through the world, which I used before. Miles has ceased to be boring milestones flashed by. They turned into a long placer deeply personal details - Islands of weeds and nodules of clay, grass and flowers bent under the wind, the trees, which cracked and creaked. They turned into the sounds of my breathing, my feet stepping along the trail step by step in the clatter of ski poles. MTX made me realize what it is - km.

Now my backpack had its own name: a Monster. And it was the most that neither is a love nickname. I was amazed by the fact that all I needed for the survival you can carry on your back. And the amazing thing is that I am able to bear. I can bear what seems unbearable.

Before, I didn't really understand the enormity of our world - not even knew how great might be the distance of one kilometre. Has not yet gone through every one of those kilometres my legs.

The universe, as I found out, never plays. She just takes what she wants, and never gives back.

It was a world where I'd never been, but always knew he was there. The world to which I wandered, stumbling in sorrow, confusion, fear and hope. This world, I thought, would make me the woman I could be, and at the same time again will turn me into that girl that I once was. The world size is 60 inches wide and 4285 kilometers in length.
