..I had always believed that I left a bit of me wherever I went. I also believed that I took a bit of every place with me. I never felt that more than with this trip. It was as if the act of touching these places, walking these roads, and asking these questions had added another column to my being. And the only possible explanation I could find for that feeling was that a spirit existed in many of the places I visited, and a spirit existed in me and the two had somehow met in the course of my travels. It's as if the godliness of the land and the godliness of my being had fused. Bruce Feiler
About This Quote

I have felt this way before, but never with the intensity that I feel now. As my journey continues, I am coming to know that my soul is not merely a part of me, but it is me. I am made up of many parts, some of which are here on earth and some of which are not. But my soul is what makes up all of my being.

It is love, truth, hope, and wisdom. It is my emotions and desires, but it is also my goals and goals are not always physical goals. I am seeking something for my soul.

It's as if the godliness of the land and the godliness of my being have fused into one spirit.
