“Until you step into the unknown, you don’t know what you’re made of.” ~Roy T. Bennett

"Some adventures

require nothing more

than a willing 

heart

and the ability

to trip over

the cracks

in the 

world."

~Seanan McGuire

“Sooner or later, everybody dreams of other worlds.” ~J. Aleksandr Wootton

 “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 world reveals itself to those who travel on foot” ~Werner Herzog

“We move 

through 

this world 

on paths laid down 

long before 

we are 

born.”

Robert Moor

“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” ~Gary Snyder

“We are touched 

by magic 

wands. 

For just a 

fraction 

of our day 

life 

is perfect, 

and we are 

absolutely happy 

and in 

harmony 

with the earth. 

The feeling passes 

much too 

quickly. 

But the memory – 

and the anticipation 

of other miracles – 

sustains us 

in the battle 

indefinitely.”

John Nichols
