What do you collect when you travel?
Long before I saw the world with my own eyes, I read about it in books.
I don’t know when I started picking up bookmarks on my journeys…but I do know that visiting bookstores and libraries is something that I do everywhere.
I keep these precious items in containers on shelves around my house, and among my books.
It often happens that I pull out a favorite time and find one of these mementos -still inside- from my last perusal . In those moments, I take a beat and remember fondly…the version of myself I was when I acquired it, and where I was.
I learn so much about myself when I travel and the gratitude I feel for an expansive inner and outer world is everything.
