"Whereas the beautiful is limited, the sublime is limitless..." -Kant

Fugacious: tending to disappear, or, better yet, fleeting. Follies: foolishness. Fugacious Follies is the place where our ignorance can become wisdom. 

A wanderer with a penchant for reading and writing, Christopher John Lemanski is looking for the truth that lies beyond our words, and to find peace among the flowers. Welcome to the website.

Chris is currently pushing his body and his sanity with his latest endeavor: walking from Istanbul to Lisbon using only his wits and his feet. If you'd like to see where he'll be walking, check out the E3 European long-distance path that he'll be following. As of yet, there is no final date as to when he will complete his journey, and it is more than likely that he'll end up getting distracted somewhere on the trail.

This site is an outlet for the thoughts, images and sounds Chris will be collecting along his way. Click here to follow Chris by Satellite or send him a personal message. He'll be happy to have some company.


I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.
