Words and thought are truly food to the soul.
More and more, as I “grow younger and wiser” each day, I find myself craving spiritual nourishment. While I love reading and learning new interesting things, what drives my heart with the highest degree of passion are things that make me look beyond what is and what can be and ideas that are “outside the box”, things that have taken our world to the next level. For example, if there had not been geniuses who thought along the conventional means of living we would never have flown to the moon or sailed across the oceans for fear of falling over the edge of a once believed flat planet surface.
As a result, in order to continue to stretch my mind and heart so that I can see beyond the confines of conventional thinking, I turn toward people and things that question the known, reach for the stars, and express love for humanity and all creation that extends far beyond anything they can see in the present moment.
So, please, enjoy these quotes, they keep my heart and spirit on the right track and keep my spirit alive and burning brighter than I might have previously ever thought possible. Hopefully, you’ll love them too!
