Bill Davis, friend and videographer, takes me through drone capture. We are headed to Sea of Cortez to participate in NOLS Sea Kayak Expedition to get a group of leaders to better understand what STEP students experience on their senior expeditions.

Reviewing special equipment at Bill’s shop. Bill had helped me with putting interviews of the STEP students on the web site we made for the Cairo to Cape Town fund raiser.

Tannis Starr, the assistant editor, has provided the team with invaluable assistance and support. She is a graduate of ASU’s Sidney Potier’s film school.

Ithaka

BY C. P. CAVAFY

TRANSLATED BY EDMUND KEELEY

As you set out for Ithaka

hope your road is a long one,

full of adventure, full of discovery.

Laistrygonians, Cyclops,

angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them:

you’ll never find things like that on your way as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, as long as a rare excitement stirs your spirit and your body. Laistrygonians, Cyclops,

wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them unless you bring them along inside your soul, unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one.

May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time; may you stop at Phoenician trading stations to buy fine things, mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, sensual perfume of every kind—as many sensual perfumes as you can; and may you visit many Egyptian cities to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

Arriving there is what you’re destined for. But don’t hurry the journey at all. Better if it lasts for years, so you’re old by the time you reach the island, wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way, not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her you wouldn't have set out. She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Perhaps a tradition will be started. I signed a brick on the inside of the community center in Hachita. The building was a merchantile that opened in 1903 and serves as a final resting spot for many before riding to the border. It was a good place to pause and reflect before re-entry into the other world.

I have heard, I don’t know where, that the aboriginals of Australia pause on long journeys to let their souls catch up to them. It seems like a good practice. I’ve come across a fair amount of data that shows that savoring experiences is much better than long term happiness than buying things. I also have noted that the notion of resetting one’s hedonistic set point can boost happiness and gratitude as well.

After a long journey like this I feel grateful for a lot of things I begin to take for granted. I think heading the list are friendships.

This wheel states “This will also change” a concept that change is inevitable and constant. Reminding myself of this seems simple but sometimes tricky.
