December 30: Ithaka

Per the Daybook:

"As you set out in search Ithaka (island home of Greek hero, Odysseus)
Pray that your journey be long,
Full of adventures, full of awakenings.
Do not fear the monsters of old ...
You will not meet them in your travels
If your thoughts are exalted and remain high,
If authentic passions stir your mind, body and spirit.
You will not encounter fearful monsters
If you do not carry them within your soul,
If your soul does not set them up in front of you" -- Constantine Peter Cavafy
