I like that we [the family] keep moving. It's a nomadic life, and I think that's a great life.

The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.
To be unattached is not to renounce the world. If you renounce the world you are attached to the world; otherwise why should you renounce it?

It's just been sort of ingrained in me. What I deal with day to day.
