Day 52e: To walk a hundred miles … (06/05/2019)

“There are only a few ways to be truly brave. One is to walk a hundred miles, another is care for a hundred strangers. If you want to know the truth of who you really are, then you must either have the guts to walk until not a person knows your name or the courage to care for those who can or will do nothing for you in return. As such, pilgrimage and Love are the two great levelers, the two greatest teachers — both often bitter as medicine; both always as honest as mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection, and a single act of selfless kindness will reveal more of your Soul than a hundred years of protests or prayers.” ~ inspired by Patrick Rothfuss
