Words of wisdom

Something I stumbled upon on a Peace Corps Volunteer's blog:

It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.

I want to repeat one word for you:
Leave.

Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.

- Donald Miller

The way you have always wanted to be. I love that line. A significant part of why I'm doing JVC is because it feels like a means of becoming the way I have always wanted to be.
