Nothing new, but all great reminders.

Quotes:

* This book is for everyone, whether you’re eighty or eight - I feel like I’m both sometimes.

* Most of the old moles I know wish they had listened less to their fears and more to their dreams.

* “It’s the wild,” said the mole, “don’t fear it. Imagine how we would be if we were less afraid.”

* One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things.

* Being kind to yourself is one of the greatest kindnesses. We often wait for kindness… but being kind to yourself can start now.

* “Sometimes I feel lost,” said the boy. “Me too,” said the mole, “but we love you, and love brings you home.”

* I think everyone is just trying to get home.

* “Everyone is a bit scared,” said the horse. “But we are less scared together.”

* “Asking for help isn’t giving up,” said the horse. “It’s refusing to give up.”

* “The greatest illusion,” said the mole, “is that life should be perfect.”

* “Life is difficult - but you are loved.”

* “We don’t know about tomorrow,” said the horse, “all we need to know is that we love each other.”

* When the big things feel out of control focus on what you love right under your nose.

* This storm will pass.

* “What do we do when our hearts hurt?” asked the boy. “We wrap them with friendship, shared tears, and time, till they wake hopeful and happy again.”

* Home isn’t always a place is it?

* Sometimes all you hear about is the hate, but there is more love in this world than you could possibly imagine.

Such a heartwarming, beautifully-illustrated story, and a quick read. We all need to read this once in a while to ground ourselves and remember what’s really important in our lives. Not very plot-centric, but the message of the story is powerful
