metaphors by Switchfoot
I am the sea on a moonless night:
Calling, falling, slipping tides
I am the leaky, dripping pipes,
the endless aching drops of light.
I am the raindrop falling down
always longing for the deeper ground.
I am the broken, breaking seas;
even my blood finds ways to bleed.
Even the rivers finds ways to run-
Even the rain to reach the sun-
Even my thirsty streams-
Even in my dreams I am...
You stop changing. when
You stop processing. when
you stop writing. When
you stop thinking.
Keep learning.
Keep reading.

Rise. →
I had a dream recently and the intro guitar to this song was playing in the background to the scene a few moments before I woke up. Weird how the song name is called ‘Rise’, too. Now that I think of it, if you were to have a life soundtrack, this is a pretty sick outro.

I love this quote because it’s true. Baseball is a total life metaphor.

All the people with which I’d ever want to watch baseball would rather not, but I have always wanted to watch baseball.

Connections between talking and thinking.
Paraphrased from textbook:
No Speech does not equal no Communication. Lack of Speech does not equal lack of Thought.

On the mindset of a sojournor.
There are two possible approaches to social relationships when you know you will eventually entirely leave your current location.
First. You can be future-oriented. You know this place is not your home so you don’t make it your home. You keep in mind the inevitable departure when you interact with others, making sure to keep some distance so as to minimize the pain of separation....
Few things are as satisfying as gaining a little more understanding of someone’s actions. It’s such a simple moment of both peace and sadness as you begin to see things from their perspective.
