How did they choose their oceans and continents, those Magellans and Smiths, Lewises and Clarks, the great explorers? More likely the explorations chose the adventurers. Now, just across these centuries, a new borderland calls.
:- Doug.
Lay down new woodland paths
It is the task of the course to open us to new bi-ways of thinking, new paths to lay down in the woodlands. Not to persuade of the destination nor the journey.

How do you gather up the courage to converse about what cuts to your quick? Maybe as the question guesses, you pick up small pieces as you go and when you almost have enough, you leap.
