Day 142k: Facing the greater Possible … (September 18, 2019)
“I have discovered that even the mediocre can have great adventures and even the fearful can achieve great ends … We all are terrified of our greatest possibilities. We are all so greatly afraid to become that which we glimpse in our most perfect moments, under the most perfect conditions, in times of our greatest courage … And yet the only real Purpose of any life well-lived is to live it wholeheartedly, to taste every experience to its utmost, to embrace every being encountered as a long lost Soulmate, to reach out eagerly and without fear for the fresh and far richer experience that is kindness without bound or limit. This boldness can be readily felt on long walks of pilgrimage, no doubt, and yet it can be just as readily & just as fully embraced on any street-corner where a passing stranger is greeted with real warmth and tenderness. Either way, life can be so lived. Either way, it must be Done.” ~ inspired by Edmund Hillary, Abraham Maslow & Eleanor Roosevelt
