I have walked the earth for thirty years and, out of gratitude, want to leave some souvenir.”
-Vincent Van Gogh
It seems that the secret to leaving worthwhile souvenirs begins with gratitude: gratitude for the entire experience, appreciation for the importance of everything, passion for the opportunity to see what I see, feel what I feel, and give what I have–whatever that may be.
So very glad that Van Gogh left some souvenirs. They are powerful and I don’t know why.
Why do certain people move us? Intrigue us? Change us?
Maybe because they are all in.
