a borrowed quote from Paul Coelho and Rosanna Marshall

My friend Rosanna has been volunteering in Nepal for the last 3 months and has had some amazing experiences. She has been reading The Pilgrimage by Paul Coehlo and shared this quote which I can totally relate to:

“When you travel you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth…. since all things are new, you see only the beauty in them, and you feel happy to be alive. That’s why a religious pilgrimage has always been one of the most objective ways of achieving insight. The word peccadillo, which means a “small sin,” comes from pecus, which means “defective foot,” a foot that is incapable of walking a road. The way to correct the peccadillo is always to walk forward, adapting oneself to new situations and receiving in return all of the thousands of blessings that life generously offers to those who seek them.”
