The Path starts to get quite rocky in places … ―Life is a valuable and unique opportunity to discover who you are. But it seems as soon as you near answering that age-old question, something unexpected always happens to alter your course. And who it is you thought you were suddenly changes.‖ ~ Richelle Goodrich And then we head into Molinaseca, where we will rest for the night … ―No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads.‖ ~ Deepak Chopra 182
Mom didn‘t have any cash to pay for a hostel, so we used her credit card and actually spent a night in a hotel. In the image below, Mom & I are sampling what was by far the worst wine we drank the entire trip. At least it came in a pretty bottle … By the way, I couldn‘t rest Peace-fully in our room that night, so got up and tried to sleep on the floor of the hotel‘s reading lounge. A maid found me there, woke me up, and then gave me my own room to sleep in -- for free! ―The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn‘t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.‖ ~ Barbara Hall It just goes to show you: books & covers -- bottles & labels -- and people & behaviors … ―In all hero stories, the call to go on a journey takes the form of a loss, an error, a wound, an unexplainable longing, or a sense of a mission. When any of these happens to us, we are being summoned to make a transition. It will always mean leaving something behind …The paradox here is that loss is a path to gain.‖ ~ David Richo 183
