You notice because you need to. The world is new.”

Jedidiah Jenkins Quote: “A dream is the myriad ways we could be fulfilled in life using our talents to make beautiful things. But then there are goals.

Goals are just guesses at where to make a home, and when they aren’t right, we try another.”

Jedidiah Jenkins Quote: “For me, only mountains and canyons have this effect on me. The ocean, much bigger than any mountain, lies flat to the horizon.

Or with a canyon, I am frightened by the cliff, the ease with which I could lose my mind and jump. Experiencing those things leaves me properly reduced. I think it is a good feeling. The fear of God.”
