"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

SECRECY, or HOW to be INVISIBLE

Society does not understand the concept of unplanned time or non-planning.  You may be criticized, judged, or ridiculed for your activities.  This is best avoided altogether.

No one needs to know about your wanderings.  It is okay to have something that is just yours.

Your thoughts are powerful and need time to emerge without distractions.  This can only be done in solitary fashion.

Wandering is an ancient and powerful tool.  When you you wander you are connecting to a group of great thinkers who used this tool to further humankind and for good.  This path is not for everyone.  You are entrusted with the knowledge of its power and should only pass on this knowledge to others who are able to honor it.

Secrecy allows members to conduct research quietly and covertly.
She had the added sense of being herself invisible; unseen; unknown.

Virginia Woolf     

Keri Smith, from The Wander Society
