Updates From The Road
Been a tough few days, the blogs been quiet (or filled with quotes I’ve been reading). I’ve been back in NI since Friday. One of my closest friends has just lost her dad to pancreatic cancer, I came back for the funeral yesterday & to just be around for her for a day or two. It’s been hard & draining, and I’ve done nothing. I can’t even imagine how she’s feeling, she’s so strong & she inspires me beyond belief.
I want to write more, but maybe later. Pray for Jill & her family if you would. I’ll be back in Glasgow tomorrow.
Deeper Questions
“In those days, I think I was looking for solutions to certain questions – now I’m looking for questions that become deeper the more you investigate them. I’m looking for places that will shake me up and force me to question things that I take for granted. I want more and more to be unsettled by places.”
[Pico Iyer]
Itchy Feet
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
[Robert Louis Stevenson]
“There are deeper reasons to travel – itches and tickles on the underbelly of the unconscious mind. We go where we need to go, and then try to figure out what we’re doing there.”
[Jeff Greenwald]
