Snow, and part of a shoe
If we don’t offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don’t lift to the horizon; our ears don’t hear the sounds around us. The edge is off our experience, and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days.
–-Kent Nerburn
This quote is from Nerburn’s book, Letters to My Son. He is the author of Neither Wolf Nor Dog, and The Wolf at Twilight. And thanks to Whiskey River for the introduction to Nerburn.
Some time ago, I also found Nerburn via Whiskey River and am pleased to have done so.
Yes, I read that on Whiskey river the other day, too. Lovely quote, a gem.
