In making your escape, where is it you’re going to?

Do you plan to creep back in here where you emerged from?

The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.” ― G.K. Chesterton

I would never have amounted to anything were it not for adversity. I was forced to come up the hard way.

~J.C. Penny

You’ll enjoy the short walk of his company,

as will he: singled out from the others

to push his nose eagerly into the halter, lowering

his head so you can easily fasten the buckle.

Rest your arm on his warm neck

as you wait for a passing ute,

lean into the could-only-be-horse smell of him,

see his ear turn just a few degrees in your direction,

like an old man cupping his hand, to hear

you say go on. Turn him loose and stay awhile,

watch him graze, lifting his head to sounds

of minute-to-minute living.

Because by Carolyn Fisher

Sometimes you need to move away before you can see where you are.

― Benny Bellamacina, Philosophical Uplifting Quotes and Poems

Travelling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” –

Cesare Pavese

The longer I live the more I mistrust
theatricality, the false glamour cast
by performance, the more I know its poverty beside
the truths we are salvaging from
the splitting-open of our lives.

-from “Transcendental Etude” ‘
― Adrienne Rich, The Dream of a Common Language: Poems 1974-1977

“I know it seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing, through every dark night, there’s a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it gets, keep your chest out, keep your head up and handle it.

Tupac

“They stared at each other, wanting each other, drawn to each other, but their silent shout of love went unheard in the roar of misunderstanding, and the clatter of culturally ingrained beliefs.”

Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”

Fire is not quenched with fire.

“Things get bad for all of us, almost continually, and what we do under the constant stress reveals who/what we are.”

The truth of God’s love is not that He allows bad things to happen, it’s his promise that he will be there with us-when they do.”

― Janette Oke, Love Comes Softly

Those who do not study are only cattle dressed in men’s clothes. Chinese Proverb.

Rain from Nowhere

Well he cried and laughed and shook his head then put the truck in gear,
Shut his eyes and hugged his dad in a vision that was clear,
Dropped the cattle at the yards, put the truck away
Filled the troughs the best he could and fed his last ten bales of hay.
Then he strode towards the homestead, shoulders back and head held high,
He still knew the road was tough but there was purpose in his eye.
