"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?" ~Satchel Paige

"Age 

does not diminish 

the extreme disappointment 

of having a scoop of ice cream 

fall 

from the cone."

"If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere." ~Vincent Van Gogh

 

It is not so much for its beauty 

that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, 

as for that subtle 
something, 

that quality of 
air 

that emanation 

from old 
trees, 

that so wonderfully 

changes 

and renews 

a weary 

spirit.  

 ~Robert Louis Stevenson

"It is not down in any map; true places never are." ~Herman Melville

It is good to feel lost... 

because it proves 

you have a navigational sense of where 

"Home" is.  

You know that a place 

that feels like 

being found 

exists.  

And 

maybe your current location

 isn't that place 

but, 

Hallelujah,

 that unsettled, 

uneasy feeling of 

lost-ness 

just brought you closer 

to it.
