Hi, I’m Vince Imbat, a writer and photographer who loves to walk.
The Long Walk is a weekly newsletter that shares artifacts I find during my walks both in geographic space and in what I like to call “the wilderness of the mind.”
These artifacts include photographs, poems, notes, vignettes, and essays from myself and others, all of which revolve around a single question: “How should I live?”
The newsletter is an intimately personal attempt to document the trajectory of my own long walk—from once being a young pastor to becoming someone who is exploring a free, creative, and subsistent spirituality. While deeply personal, the things I talk about in this newsletter are universal, and I sincerely hope you find something useful in them.
I have two main objectives in writing this newsletter. The first is to force me to make sense of the seemingly unconnected artifacts that often come to me in my reflections while studying or walking. The second is to leave intellectual footprints that others may use as archetypes or sources of inspiration for their own intimate philosophical and contemplative journeys.
If you haven’t yet, I invite you to walk with me by subscribing to The Long Walk.
