"Every mind must know the whole lesson for itself -- must go over the whole ground. What it does not see, what it does not live, it will not know."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, History
"So the world happens twice --
once what we see it as;
second, it legends itself deep,
the way it is."
- William Stafford
A travel journal reads:
“I have come to view the earth and its people as a solitary whole, unconfined by countless borders, cultural differences, plots of soil and ocean waves. The world exists wholly, now for the first time, in a way my mind is insufficient to grasp. I cannot know where the next six months will take me. Why should I expect anything less from my own life?"
