And I promise I will post pictures and stories from our vacation as soon as the dust settles ... to arrive back mid-week was required yet left little time outside of necessities like laundry and restocking the fridge .. getting to work and school on time ... making sure there's gas in the cars to get there ... you get the pictures.
The quote above I heard on the plane as we departed JFK to Barcelona. And it hit me between the eyes. WHAM!
I've repeated it to several others in the days since I heard it to remind myself of it. And this morning this image appeared as I sat down at the computer on Pinterest. And wouldn't you know a little sailboat is also present .. reminding me that sailing and life are safer near the shore, but the real living happens when you set sail - let wind lift your sail for new adventures!
I consider travel over the last several weeks, as I did when I wrote my thesis at Skidmore, to be for transportation to another place, as well as for the transformation that the journey provides. This adventure for me as I rounded the corner of fifty years old, was an opportunity to see things differently. And most importantly to not let life escape me any longer.
More stories to come.
