Look under foot

The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is “look under foot.” You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.

– John Burroughs

Thank you to the lovely Leonie Wise for introducing me to this beautiful quote.

    Thats the part of the quote that stuck with me! Such a profound statement that is so applicable to me right now. I’m going to cut and paste and add to my collection of quotes that stop my breath.
    Thanks!
