About the quote.

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. - St. Augustine

This quote highlights for me the quandary of adventure. And I'm not speaking of mountain climbing, surfing, sailing the seven seas, or traveling into space. I'm speaking of more ordinary pursuits, such as finally pursing that hobby you've always had an interest in, of learning to dance, of traveling to that one place you've always wanted to see, of pursuing the career you spend all your free time dreaming of. And that's the quandary of seeing other people, just like you, doing these thing and admiring their talent and their work, without really looking deep inside ones' self and seeing that you too can live this dream, enjoy this life.

Yes, wonder about all these things, but don't stop there. Actually see and know that this too can be your destiny.
