Finding a Home Wherever You Go

"Gypsies have no home, we find a home wherever we go."

In May of '09 I read this great article in Men's Journal Magazine about Matthew McConaughey and his '04 Airstream which revealed a side to McConaughey that I had never seen and since have never forgotten. When McConaughey talks about traveling, he talks about the people he meets. He travels to "take inventory," to "work on some prudence." His travel is like a fast and often is exactly that -- a fast -- nothing but water, tea and broth. A time to empty himself, a time of examination. The road is where he finds meaning and purpose.

I remember reading his stories about the people he has met, the quality of their lives and the impact they've had on him. Not exactly your typical Hollywood type.

Woody Harrelson on Matthew McConaughey:
"A never ending quest to absorb as much of humanity as he can."
