The tourist sees what he has come to see.

G.K. Chesterton

with all his other faults, has this also,

Eckhart Tolle

The importance of practice

There is always a lot of advice around this time about the importance of starting something new, and becoming better, which can give rise to a “fixing” mentality

The place to observe nature is where you are:

the walk to take today is the walk you took yesterday.

You will not find just the same things.

John Burroughs 1837–1921, American naturalist and writer, Signs and Seasons

To know what you’re going to draw,

you have to begin drawing.

Picasso

a new journey

A good journey begins with knowing where we are

and being willing to go somewhere else

Richard Rohr
