“The feeling of being between adventures is a destination itself. It may seem like a braver traveler wouldn’t have to wait in the stillness of the empty crossroads, but it takes a different kind of boldness to skip the comfort of an arbitrary destination and enter the quiet land of uncertainty, as if you wanted to send yourself a postcard from there. It’s a daunting passage along the heroes’ journey that some people never dare enter. But if you can hang at that empty crossroads and bear the boredom, that’s when magic roads appear out of nowhere. But to get on those roads, you have to be willing to stand in the middle of nowhere for a while.”

Stole this from Jody’s blog. She’s the queen of awesome quotes.
Thank you so much for this! I feel as if we have jumped off a cliff and are just floating in mid air. This summed up where we are at in our adoption process pretty accurately.

I need to thank you for this also.. that’s exactly how we feel lately, too.
