How to Discover the World
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.– Wendell Berry
Wednesday of Hope – Active Hope
Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act. We belong to this world.
– Joanna Macy
Welcoming Mistakes
Mistakes are the portal to discovery.
– James Joyce
Wednesday of Hope – Hope in the New Year
Happy New Year!! May we continue in Hope.
The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
– J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Wandering
Not all who wander are lost.
– J.R.R. Tolkien
