  • The feeling halfway between desperation and excitement
  • The Arctic tern → longest migration of any animal, from Arctic to Antarctic and back every year
    • Over course of their lives (30 years+), fly the distance fo the moon and back three times!!
  • “You’re late.” “My gift to you, since you take such pleasure in pointing it out.”
  • It takes water in the ocean 10,000 (or 1000?) years to complete a cycle around the world
  • A life can be measured by how much it gives and leaves behind in the world— or by how much it takes.
  • There is meaning to our lives, maybe— and it lives in nurturing.
