“When wind flickers across the ocean’s surface, it produces small ripples which provide a greater surface area that can catch more of that blowing wind. Eventually these ripples become larger and larger until they cohere into wavelets and eventually waves, attaining their greatest size when they come closest to matching the wind’s speed. What makes this whole chain of events slightly stranger is that it is not the water itself traveling across the ocean as a wave, but merely the memory of the original wind’s energy being constantly transferred as vibration from one neighboring water molecule to the next. When I heard the roar of that wave behind me in Nusa Dua, what I was actually hearing was the sound of the past arriving in the present, with me directly in its path.” - Stephen Kotler, West of Jesus With good will for the entire cosmos, cultivate a limitless heart: Above, below, & all around, unobstructed, without hostility or hate. - Buddha “What gives travel its value is fear. At a certain moment, when we’re far from our own country, we become seized by a desire to go back, to the protection of old habits and ways. At that moment, we are feverish, but also porous, so that the slightest touch makes us quiver, to the depths of our being.” - Albert Camus
