Quotes of the Day – March 11 2012

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
– Mark Twain

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”
– Miriam Beard

Halfway done with UK / Ireland trip. It hasn’t felt quite so much like a long strange trip as a welcoming home. London is a very comfortable city and today we spent with friends old and new in Sudbury with a side trip to Saffron Walden. We got to see Ley-Lines and labyrinths and walk along the oldest hedge maze in Europe.
So has this trip been transformative in nature? Yes but in surprisingly subtle ways. Soft insights rather than revelatory ones and perhaps in some ways a reclamation of self. I have done much of what I’ve enjoyed and I’ve managed to claim space to do so. I’ve discussed the importance of looking deeper and not accepting easy answers and perhaps I’ve learned how important face to face intelligent conversation is to me and how much I’ve missed it.
Here’s to new destinations and sunny skies. Tomorrow we fly to Ireland. Blessings, G

  1. Gary, i love that 2nd quote. It sounds like you’re literally living it at the moment 🙂 Thank you for reading my blog today. I should have nominated you for those awards as well. You deserve them. I hope your travels continue to climb inside of you, to change what needs changing, and to recall what you’ve been missing.
