So I know this whole explanation is a little late but just to catch you all up. I headed up to North Carolina while Trevor has continued visiting other communities for the last few days. I was just going up to visit a friend of mine, Blake. But I currently headed back to meet up with Trevor.
I have literally almost no battery left on my computer but I really felt I should post to say something. As i’ve been traveling, everyday I am astonished that some human beings can’t see pure goodness in people. I’d like to think that I am not blinded by goodness but rather that people stem from goodness and bad things happen to them making people believe that somehow people are bad. IT is quite possible that at this point in my life God is doing all he can to take care of me and I’d like to think that is true. What brought this thought up is as i have been sitting on the greyhound waiting to take off there was an older man, doesn’t look to clean, and doesn’t look to have a lot of money, I mean he is carrying a paper grocery bag full of food I suppose that will last him I don’t even know how long. I see him kind of look at me, and fumble through his bag a bit. And I suppose my impression of him could be wrong but he leans over and hands me a bottle of water just out of the kindness of his heart. I also could be exaggerating this story, making to big of a deal about it, but something in my heart tells me that people are real, and good, and my mind isn’t changing about that anytime soon. My favorite book I have ever read is called the Alchemist. It’s a really easy read and if you haven’t read it, I suggest you do. It’s by Paulo Coelho. I have a quote, and i’ll leave you with that.
“Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there.”
I LOVE that book. One of my absolute favorites. I also love what you guys are doing. Even though I’m not out there, your stories remind me to love everyone and know that they each have their own story. You guys are awesome!
Thanks Renee. It really has been a ton of fun. I find it really awesome that you can take something from our experiences as well.
