Perpetual Twilight

“We need to travel.
If we don’t offer ourselves to the unknown, our sense dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don’t life to the horizon; our ears don’t hear the sounds around us. The edge is off our experience, and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day an dfind that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days. Don’t let yourself become one of these people. The fear of the unknown and the lure of the comfortable will conspire to keep you from taking the chances the traveler has to take. But if you take them, you will never regret your choice. To be sure, there will be moments of doubt when you stand alone on an empty road in an icy rain, or when you are ill with fever in a rented bed. but as the pains of the moment will come, so too witll they fall away. In the end, you will be so much richer, so muh stronger, so much clearer, so much happier, and so much better a person that al lthe risk and hardship will seem like nothing compared to the knowledge you have gained.”

“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”

“The sky. Every hour of the day it’s different, it’s fluid, graceful, elegant. Any time you look at it, it’s restorative. And it doesn’t demand anything from you. When I look up, I think, “Wow sky, I should do that more often.”

“The world is round, wait and see. Even if it appears that he is going downhill, he will come up on the other side. Yes, on top of the world. He is just taking a longer route.”
