Travel quote: Anais nin
I walk ahead of myself in perpetual expectation of miracles.
The above quote from Anais Nin I have found to have great personal application and significance for myself. Reading it again recently it struck me how well the quote suited the life of a vagabonder, or anyone taking a journey. Travel involves taking a leap of faith that something exceptional will be waiting for us to experience or lay our eyes on. Yielding to these possibilities opens the door to the many unique experiences and circumstances along the road. With each trip we take, we become more and more willing to let these experiences happen to us and shape us. We come to expect nothing short of the amazing while traveling, even if the amazing comes not in some grand event but in a simple personal revelation.

Thanks for sharing, Colleen, I’m a big fan of her words. I took, The Novel of the Future, on a journey with me and highlighted bunches of quotes as the book fell apart at the binding.
