The Blue Grotto

I want the focus of my blog to be the sub-title, even if it is a little bit long and abstract. Cheers to challenge.


Take comfort, the power you need to pursue your greatest passions is already inside of you.

So, as you can see, I've changed the format of my blog. The picture is from my trip to the Island of Capri on the Amalfi Coast. Friends and I took a ferry ride to the Blue Grotto, a cave along the coast. One to three people then fit into small very small rowboats (think The Little Mermaid, while Kiss the Girl is playing...or The Notebook). You must lie down in the boat to pass through the small opening into the cave with the boat.

The sunlight passes through the seawater and the small opening, giving the water inside the cave this magnificent blue color in the darkness of the cave. Take comfort, the power you need to pursue your greatest passions is already inside of you.

PS I have a video of us getting into the cave. I'll post it next time I have my computer!

  1. The quote reminds me of a speaker I found online named Anthony De Mello who speaks about awareness and self understanding. Hes a Jesuit priest, but rarely does that become the centerpiece of his discussions. Maybe something that might be worth checking out, he may have a similar quote somewhere in his speeches and writings. I'll post anything I find that pertains.

  2. i love how you have collaborated this quote with an image. The scene of the light inside the cave matches perfectly with the quote's theme and acts as a great metaphor. I think you could use this technique again with other images and quotes.
