“Impatience is a dangerous thing when it comes to interior journeys, spiritual quests, pilgrimages of the soul. For in these journeys we must cover the miles step-by-step, feeling the terrain as we pass through it, responding to it’s challenges. There is no rushing this; there are no shortcuts. But that is what makes it so beautiful and dangerous and wonderful. We don’t snap a few photos and rush on; rather, we are changed by our travels…In other words, take your time. Beginning to understand your heart, to hear it’s pulse, to know it’s desires and passions, is perhaps the most important skill to learn, yet the most difficult as well…Be patient, it will come."-John Eldredge, “The Journey of Desire-journal & guidebook” p. xiii-xiv
