I picked up this journal which I am going to use on my new "journey". When I bought this a couple of weeks ago, I didn't pay any attention to the quote on the cover, I just purchased it at a yard sale and thought since it hadn't been used, it would be good to jot down things I learned along the way. It may have been already posted on this board, but I just read it and it is beautiful and I am surprised I have never heard it (or maybe I was too drunk to remember it if I ever did)....
That's excellent! I've copied it for my own meditations. Thank you.
