“When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.”

^^ That's a good lead in to one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite authors.

"Of all the aids which the human mind has yet created to simplify its life—that is, to simplify the work in which thinking consists—none is so momentous and so inseparably bound up with the mind’s most inward nature as the concept of number. Arithmetic, whose sole object is this concept, is already a science of immeasurable breadth, and there can be no doubt that there are absolutely no limits to its further development; and the domain of its application is equally immeasurable, for every thinking person, even if he does not clearly realize it, is a person of numbers, an arithmetician."

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.

That last quote reminded me of this African proverb:
"If you want to travel fast, go alone. If you want to travel far, go together."

From a guide book to mountain biking trails:

"After all, being lost is a state of mind rather than an actual physical reality."

You are indeed always right where you are.
