Some mornings I go quote hunting. It’s more like mushroom hunting or herb gathering that stalking deer. I have no clear mission, no clear target, just a sense of wanting something to help me recognize my feelings and my thoughts; to give the body and substance. I wander cross all kinds of quotes that are interesting, but don’t speak to me at that moment. I follow one trail to an author,
then another and another. And inevitably, finally, my thoughts and feelings solidify and a quote jumps out and says “pick me”. This morning, Terry Tempest Wiliams
“This is my living faith, an active faith, a faith of verbs: to question, explore, experiment, experience, walk, run, dance, play, eat, love, learn, dare, taste, touch, smell, listen, speak, write, read, draw, provoke, emote, scream, sin, repent, cry, kneel, pray, bow, rise, stand, look, laugh, cajole, create, confront, confound, walk back, walk forward, circle, hide, and seek.”" — Terry Tempest Williams (Leap)
