We are not truly conscious of our surroundings and what it means to actually wake up to another beautiful day. In those ten minutes, we are everything we could be.-Riitta Klint Journals

What I didn't recognize, is that all along I had been crumbling slowly and quietly, like unfired clay. It's almost boring how unspectacular it is.

Only then might you find another wandering soul doing the same thing, who can walk with you but on their own journey. All of a sudden you might find a shared passion and a wrinkled map on the trail that makes sense.
