“Nothing
would be
easier without
you,
because you
are
everything,
all of it-

Our sense of what constitutes wildness is expanded, and our sense of wonder along with it.”
― Lynada Lynn Haupt

“You'll be amazed at how capable people think you are if they don't know you well. Don't waste that advantage.”
