Existing on the Line between Magic and Matter: Monks

“The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” - St. Augustine

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost." - J. R. R. Tolkien

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” - Jack Kerouac

"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see." - John Burroughs

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." - Douglas Adams

"Adventure is a path. Real adventure—self-determined, self-motivated, often risky—forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind—and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white." - Mark Jenkins
