Heart Gift 14: Words to live by

This is the inscription of a book my dad gifted to me as I left on a six month around the world trip aged 18. These words inspire how I try to live my life:

“To journey, to witness — in heart’s freedom and wonderment, to reach out across far horizons beyond the murky confines of parochial mediocrity — ’tis to LIVE, ’tis to LOVE.”

* Heart Gift is a community of people who give from their hearts. You are invited to join to be inspired and, when ready, to share your favorite quote, letter, joke, prayer, advice, music, art piece, story, song, ritual, Grandma’s recipe — anything. We can all help create a more beautiful world when we are Permissionaries — giving each other permission to be authentic, vulnerable and heart led.
