“There is no way to forestall what can’t be fathomed, no way to guess what hurts we are trying to protect ourselves from. We have to know in order to love. We have to risk everything. We have to open ourselves up to contact, even with the possibility of disaster.” Penny Lane, The Voyagers

I always enjoy the quotes you share. These are my learning days, having been opened and now closed for a time to process. Thanks for visiting, Cuz. 🙂
And I’m always glad to know you’re there, Cuz, whether you’re opened or closed. Thanks for reaching out. I hope to get back to browsing your blog soon. I’m long overdue for quite a few visits to different ones… 🙂
I know the feeling. I’ve just gotten back into a rhythm. I had to make comprises with myself on limited commenting and reading, but I finally consider myself “caught up.” Even if you don’t see any tracks, I hop by whenever you post something. I look forward to seeing you when you have time.
