Traditionally, a journey was a rhythm of three forces: time, self and space … The greed for destination obliterates the journey … When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery, you return to a rhythm of yourself. When you take time to travel with reverence, a richer life unfolds before you.*
John O’Donohue
It’s so easy to belittle and resent the things we’re good at. We think, ‘since I’m good at it, it just must be something everyone is good at, so it’s not worth much’ or, ‘I’m good at this but it’s not as valuable as being good at THAT’.**
Gabe Anderson
You are made for discovery with reverence –
A part of what you are discovering, not
apart from it,
And whilst life is limited to
discovering only a portion of all that is,
Yet this will help you not
to be lost in space, to
know yourself, and
be at peace with time and what may be
achieved over a lifetime rather than immediately or
sooner.
