When I was writing the "Wherever you go, there you are" blog (the Confucius quote) I had also quoted Ernest Hemingway. I saw this quote from him after;
"If you are lucky enough to have visited Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."
Well, I haven't been to Paris but I get the bigger point of what he is saying. Our experiences go with us, our character moves with us and the time we spend and where we spend it is valuable in moving us along.
I do hope you experience the moments that enrich your life and cause you to get back in touch with yourself.
