As I sat in the library today, furiously typing out my philosophy paper, I took notice of the gorgeous weather outside and a sudden desire to wander down to the Tidal Basin and sit in the presence of the monuments overwhelmed me. After wrapping up my draft, I set about to satisfy my desires. I was immediately faced with the question of how I would reach my destination: would I hop on the shuttle bus to the Metro station and take the subway down? Would I grab a taxi? Would I walk the most direct way through town? Or would I take the scenic route along the Potomac River? All four alternatives would lead me to the very bench that I now sit on as I type this post; the difference would be the experience of the journey to reach my goal.
