Opening Quotes...
"A mind that is stretched by new experience can never go back to its old dimensions."
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, JR

“Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.”
~ Erol Ozan

"And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, in dimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.”
~ Pico Iyer
***
"Walk your own path and be yourself."
~ Joanne Nussbaum

In your notebook, copy the quotes that resonate the most. Reflect on each quote and ask, "What's true for me today? What's sacred here?" Write in a way that is loose and free. Write to explore.
