Good morning!

I find as the world roils around us, core beliefs and comforts stay the same, just sometimes they are harder to hear, to find, and to hold on to.

I will be away for the next little while, to be present as Summer wanes and Autumn waxes, listening for my weird-song, and finding my way.

Back soon. In the meantime, be encouraged, be brave, and #KeepGoing 💪​

Good morning!

The second of two favourite quotes from new friends; this is from R, who is learning #Spanish 😊​:

(Apologies for not including her Spanish version; I couldn't read all the handwritten words & couldn't match it with guesses from translation software. I'll keep trying.)

However, she says the English version is this:

"Today I want to live, to accept, to learn, to love, to fly - and to go ahead with my voice to your heart; let the thoughts fly." ~ #CecyJimenez

Good morning!

As promised, the first of two favourite quotations from new friends; this is from G, one who is always looking for new adventures (I hope I can read her handwriting!):

"Der Mensch muss das Gutes und Große wollen, das Übrige hängt vom Schicksal ab."

"Every human being should desire some tiny good and great, the rest depends on #Fate." - #AlexanderVonHumboldt , #German #polymath, #naturalist, and #explorer.

Spent some time (not enough) with two new German friends today and the next two #TravellingLight posts will be their favourite quotations on #hope / #encouragement / #dreams.

I think asking this may become my new favourite thing when meeting people for the first time. 😊​

Good morning!

Thinking a lot about #heroes, #grace, #encouragement, & #action lately & found this:

“May God grant you the grace never to sell yourself short;
grace to risk something big for the sake of something good;
grace to remember that the world is now too dangerous for anything but #truth and too small for anything but #love.”

- benediction by #WilliamSloaneCoffinJr , #American clergyman & #CivilRights, #Peace, and #GayRights activist

Be brilliant. #KeepGoing 💪​

Good morning!

"I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops.

The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance."

Good morning!

"You may have three wishes," the genie said.

"I don't think I have any," she said, "but I have lots of #dreams.

"I can't grant those."

"That's OK. I'm pretty sure I can."
