Reading The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches | Alexandria
Read The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches by Matsuo Basho. Merging Zen wanderlust with poetic precision, Basho's travelogues reveal how intentional drifting sparks profound insight. His revolutionary idea? That being lost—physically and mentally—awakens deeper wisdom than having a fixed destination. These medieval journals offer a radical antidote to our GPS-driven lives.
