How To Travel Light and Keep Your Wits


Once upon a time there was a wealthy young man whose privileged life kept him sheltered in luxury, away from the world.

Wanting to change his life, he took what he could carry, said goodbye to his family and set off into the forest.

After several days of tireless walking, bewildered and confused about his journey, he suddenly ran into an old hermit.

-”Dear old man, you seem just fine. No windows, walls or doors! How can you be truly happy with freedom such as yours?”

The old man replied…


For happiness in wealth with silver, gold and ore, pack at most a hundred pieces.

Nothing more.


Lighten plunder, loot and load — along your life or quest.


For too much is a burden.


Just give away the rest.
