Lecture: De leerschool van het leven

There are many stories and sayings about travel. Everyone knows, for example, Lao Tzu’s saying: ‘A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step’. We live on a beautiful planet that seems almost to be asking to be explored. There are many people, both young and old, who actually go on to do this: travel around the world. There is so much to see and discover, and such a journey is certainly an enrichment in our journey through life. Rainer Maria Rilke, however, says: ‘There is only one journey. The journey inward, into yourself’. The school of life.
