“Let’s not travel to tick things off lists, or collect half-hearted semi-treasures to be placed in dusty drawers in empty rooms.

I need to feel a place while I’m in it.”

These are some of the times that live on longest in our minds- conversations by candle or moonlight with our sleep deprived eyes.

So allow this chapter to hold you in darkly wrapped nights while allowing desires to just be desires before lighting that flame stemmed from your longing and churned into fuel so when it is time, you’ll have enough strength to surrender to fire that holds the burn long enough to finally take flight.”
― Victoria Erickson, Edge of Wonder: Notes from the Wildness of Being

― Victoria Erickson, Edge of Wonder: Notes from the Wildness of Being

“Stand in the heat of that truth, because you know what? It will always be there. Rather than running from it, be fierce enough to know it. Be courageous enough to let it lead you. Take one small step in that direction. Just one. Walk slowly if you must. You’ll burn brighter and brighter as you go.”
