this journey's reading

"She was awakened one morning by the whinnying of her horse with the full light of dawn in her face, surrounded by tall sequoias that, like centenary guards, had watched over her sleep, by gentle hills, and far in the distance, purple mountaintops; at that moment she was filled with an atavistic happiness that was entirely new....Her fears had dissipated in the awesome grandeur of this landscape."
-- Isabel Allende, Daughter of Fortune


"They [winds] blow across the world without a birthplace and with no place to die."
-- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
