From the Bedside Storygardenz Book by Bernard Anson Silj
"Back in the Middle Ages, pilgrims journeying to their various holy lands - Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago - were said to saunter because they had become "sans terre", without a country. A saunterer was a traveller who had renounced his home and country, at least for a while. There used to be thousands of them along the frozen trails of Europe.
What is extraordinary is that today, after the Age of Faith, there are even more. Before they used to go once in a lifetime. Now they try to go at least once a year.The travel-leisure business has gove way beyond its pleasure-seeking scope and has become an undeclared vector for the quest of sanity, of new mental space, if not outright salvation. In so doing, it has become the largest industry in the world. That says it all."
Storygardenz and Map of Imagination cater for quality time of would-be-saunterers, after the Age of Faith.
