There are perhaps no wiser words, nor a life more well-lived, than that of Dr. But in between, we have words of wisdom to help us digest and express what we feel. How do we take it all in? And once we do, how do we live differently as a result? So we get on planes, we go on adventures. Yet sometimes it takes an actual journey, a change of place and pace, for the real journey to begin.
