Wander!

From the Aitareya Brahmana, spoken by the god Indra (gendered nouns have been changed):

There is no happiness for she who does not travel [, Rohica]! Thus we have heard. Living in the society of  humanity, the best woman becomes a sinner...Therefore, wander!

The feet of the wanderer are like the flower, her soul is growing and reaping the fruit; and all her sins are destroyed by her fatigues in wandering. Therefore, wander!

The fortune of she who is sitting, sits; it rises when she rises; it sleeps when she sleeps; it moves when she moves. Therefore, wander!

Happy Activity Week and Quarter Break, everyone.
