Joseph Campbell pointed that out in a sacred Hindu text, the Upanishads: 'When before the beauty of a sunset or a mountain, you pause and exclaim ‘Ah,’ you are participating in divinity.'

It’s at that moment that you can stop worrying about where you’re going and indulge in the rapture of arrival, where truer natures are revealed. As the Chinese proverb says, 'I traveled the world and found myself.' Journey on a truly open road, and you may just discover yourself, standing under a river in the sky.

Joe Robinson was founder and editor of Escape magazine from 1993 to 2000. He's currently working in documentary films and writing a book about work and the American identity, which will be published by Putnam/Perigee next year.
