With 365 Travel: A Daily Book of Journeys, Meditations, and Adventures, Lisa Bach offers "a talisman to turn to day or night to find comfort, wisdom, and inspiration, whether at home or on the road." Enamored of "crossing and expanding both geographical and personal boundaries," Bach culls quotations from Camus (on the benefit of fear), D.H. Lawrence, Linda Hogan, Pico Iyer (on the familiar becoming exotic during travel) and hundreds of others on the wonder, exhilaration, discomfort and uncertainty that one encounters on a journey. And also on the pleasure of return, as articulated by Mrs. William Beckman: "How can I describe the joy that filled my heart when the shores of my own country first greeted my eyes through the gray atmosphere of the sea."
