Travels with Charley, In Search of America by John Steinbeck. From the last chapter of that book: “Who has not known a journey to be over and dead before the traveler returns? The reverse is also true: many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.”
James E. Miller, "The Art of Being a Healing Presence," paraphrased:If you try to make yourself anything other than who you are, if you try to act especially competent, especially sensitive, or especially 'together,' you create a distance between yourself and those around you. They may feel they can't measure up to this 'false' you. When you allow yourself to be with another person as you naturally are, with all of your frailties, you have taken a sure step toward the wholeness that awaits you both.
