I was fortunate enough this year to travel quite a bit around the United States. When I was younger I was much more fascinated with exploring other countries. Lately I have found myself more interested in discovering different parts of my own country. It's a huge, diverse place. So why not?

“perfectionism is a slow death. if everything were to turn out just like i would want it to, just like i would plan for it to, then i would never experience anything new; my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. when i make a mistake i experience something unexpected.... when i have listened to my mistakes i have grown.”

― Hugh Prather

Last Child in the Woods

"The quiet wisdom of nature does not try to mislead you like the landscape of the city does, with billboards and ads everywhere. It doesn't make you feel like you have to conform to any image. It's just there, and it accepts everyone." -Erin (Last Child in the woods)

On Death

"Just as we take a train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. We cannot get to a star while we are alive any more than we can take the train when we are dead. So to me it seems possible that cholera, tuberculosis and cancer are the celestial means of locomotion. Just as steamboats, buses and railways are the terrestrial means."

-Vincent van Gogh

"I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,

If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles."

-Whitman

“Look for me in the weather reports.”

-Saul Bellow
