see, where I am is where I‘m wanting to be 📖☕️
📷 @pande_muerto ✨ “...countless times when I traveled hundreds of miles to a friend who arrived simultaneously at our remote destination, when what we were looking for appeared unexpectedly, when two people speak the same thought in the same words at once. Such moments seem to mean that you have surrendered to the story being told and are following the story line rather than trying to tell it yourself, your punny voice interrupting and arguing with fate, nature, the gods” Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost o El libro que no puedo superar . . . #guanajuato #silhouette #gettinglost #serendipity
#CR: “There is a time in life when you expect the world to be always full of new things. And then comes a day when you realise that is not how it will be at all. You see that life will become a thing made of holes. Absences. Losses. Things that were there and are no longer. And you realise, too, that you have to grow around and between the gaps, though you can put your hand out to where things were and feel that tense, shining dullness of the space where the memories are.” —Helen MacDonald, H is For Hawk . . Un libro increíble y Fitz que no se puede resistir a salir en una foto 🙄. . . . #hisforhawk #nonfictionnovember #november #bookstagram #pomeranian #booksblog #helenmacdonald #currentlyreading

“I wonder sometimes whether with a slight adjustment of perspective [desire] could be cherished as a sensation on its own terms, since it is as inherent to the human condition as blue is to distance? If you can look across the distance without wanting to close it up, if you can own your longing in the same way that you own the beauty of that blue that can never be possessed? For something of this longing will, like the blue of distance, only be relocated, not assuaged, nu acquisition and arrival, just as the mountains cease to be blue when you arrive among them and the blue instead tints the next beyond. Somewhere in this is the mystery of why tragedies are more beautiful than comedies and why we take huge pleasure in the sadness of certain songs and stories. Something is always far away.” . . . 1. Gracias libro. Probablemente cite fragmentos tuyos en conversaciones casuales por un rato. 2.

“Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time, is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Muy difícil escoger highlights de este viaje porque todo Costa Rica es bellísimo, pero Monteverde 💚 . . . . . . #costarica #monteverde #cloudforestreserve #puravida #mahe #travel #centralamerica
“Getting lost was not a matter of geography so much as identity, a passionate desire, even an urgent need, to become no one and anyone, to shake off the shackles that remind you who you are, who others think you are.” —Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide ti Getting Lost o El libro que me acompaña en Costa Rica . . . . . . . #costarica #puntauva #puertoviejo
