Story stones along the path

Still ’round the corner there may wait A new road or secret gate… A day will come at last when I Shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun. (Tolkien)

I love the sub-genre within travel writing where characters en route to a shrine, hiking remote nature trails or escaping terror, strew the path with Babushka dolls – stories within stories. Within the slow timeless time of traveling, life stories insert themselves as fellow pilgrims engage with their pasts and step into their future.
