Finally made the responsible decision to read Cheryl Strayed's memoir. And I loved it. Pretty sure there should be a Surgeon General-type warning on the cover: "May cause severe wanderlust."
Here are a couple of my favorite quotes...
“I considered my options. There were only two and they were essentially the same. I could go back in the direction I had come from, or I could go forward in the direction I intended to go.”
“I didn’t feel sad or happy. I didn’t feel proud or ashamed. I only felt that in spite of all the things I’d done wrong, in getting myself here, I’d done right.”
“The universe, I’d learned, was never, ever kidding. It would take whatever it wanted and it would never give it back.”
“To know that seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water was enough. That it was everything. It was my life-- like all lives, mysterious and irrevocable and sacred. So very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. How wild it was, to let it be.”
