Adieu to the city

“Come, here is adieu to the city
And hurrah for the country again.
The broad road lies before me
Watered with last night’s rain.
The timbered country woos me
With many a high and bough;
And again in the shining fallows
The ploughman follows the plough.”

Robert Louis Stevenson

A Plan

Always make a plan.  If the plan isn’t working, don’t waste time beating yourself up.  Just make another plan.

Second Life

Your second life begins when you realize you only have one.

Raphaelle Giordano

100 miles

“No man is brave that has never walked 100 miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than a mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.”

Patrick Rothfuss

Knowing

You already know
What you need to be doing
And it isn’t this
