Greetings Thoughtful Travelers! Welcome to today’s thought for May 7th!  It’s by Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali Indian educator  poet, and novelist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.  He lived from 1861 to 1941.
“The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and he has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.”
So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.
“This sounds like one of those mystical rants on life as a journey.  And, why not? They have a lot in common.  They are both full of obstacles to overcome, they are both full of detours and dead ends, and they both include many other wayfarers, some going our way and some headed in the opposite direction. Neither one offers a perfect road map to follow or any guarantees of success.  But there are a multitude of sages who provide advice for every stage and every concern during both types of journeys.  So, bon voyage and have a happy life!”
Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in May.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
