The coastline paradox says you can never get an accurate measure of the coastline of a country. How long it is depends how you measure it. If your ruler is incremented in miles you'll get a different answer than if you measure in centimetres. Sounds like an appropriate metaphor for measuring a life. As I travel the coastline of England, and eventually Wales and Scotland, how do I, can I, should I measure a nomadic life? Miles traveled, number of places visited? Or perhaps something more internal. Perhaps how much time is spent nourishing the soul, Soul time repairs and renews our belief in a beautiful world. It's calm time. Down time. Not introspective, but absorptive, taking in the world around you. It opens you and connects you. I get it from the beautiful places I visit, and the more I get the more I appreciate it as a measure of a life.
