Hitchhikers guide vs. sacred landscapes - Derek Bryant

When reading Lane's book and talking in class about sacred landscapes and where they are and what effect it has on people, occasionally I had thoughts about Douglas Adams series of books. And the book is a great example of different people on a journey together with different motives and goals they wish to accomplish, and that like mentioned in a trialjournals.com log, sometimes the journey is knowing the answer but not knowing what the question is. Several great quotes from the series like the bold printing on the guidebook saying "Don't Panic." Or Ford's entire outlook and how you must always know where your towel is. And the idea of space becomes this sacred place where the universe is opened up with its endless possibilities "such as the improbability drive" that anything is possible and while yes you are an insignificant spot in the universe, all things are possible for you.
