I have decided to occasionally post some of the inspirational or motivational things I stumble upon during my time here in Peru - just things I read and enjoy, things that make me stop and think, or just small things I want to remember and find fun to share. And what better time for a little inspiration than Monday mornings when, even in Peru, getting out of bed seems to be a little more of a chore. So with this explanation, here's a little Monday motivation from Walt Whitman :)
THE OPEN ROAD
by Walt Whitman
Leaves of Grass
Afoot and light-hearted I take the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.
*This is a picture of the walk I went on yesterday with my host sabrinas (nieces). The little one making strides here is 5-year-old Dayana
