when we are away from home, in new and strange places, we get to know ourselves better.
“Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete.”

“That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.”
