Wandering is the activity of the child

 Wandering is the activity of the child, the passion of the genius; it is the discovery of the self, the discovery of the outside world, and the learning of how the self is both "at one with" and "separate from" the outside world.

These discoveries are as fundamental to the soul as "learning to survive" is fundamental to the body.
These discoveries are essential to realizing what it means to be human.
To wander is to be alive ..
