Walking to Listen

Andrew is finished with college but doesn't know what to do next. He decides to take a walk. Across America. A walk to see if he can find out the important things in life.

He does. It's an almost year-long journey, from Pennsylvania, down South, through Texas, across New Mexico and Arizona, to California. Along the way, he meets people, and, true to the sign he wears, he walks to listen.

And, boy, do people talk. They tell stories about their lives, about the deaths of people close to them, about health troubles, about friendships, about worries, about jobs and work and play and food and all the other things that make up a human life.

Andrew listens. And writes it all down. Reflects on it. And keeps walking.
