Five threads,
one long conversation.
Not categories. Recurring ideas — the ones that turn up in every chapter, on every road, at every table.
01
Ride
on the bicycle, and the mornings that begin there.
02
Sail
slow water, quiet harbours, unhurried arrivals.
03
Wander
the towns worth stopping for.
04
Gather
the table, and the company around it.
05
Life
the practice of staying curious after fifty.
