Week 3: The text you need

How was your week? I hope there was goodness, and strength to get through the less-than-good. 

Our adventure here continues! On your journey, you have a text of some kind that you carry with you, for solace, for enthusiasm, for joy, for wisdom. Whatever you character needs. This might be a phrase, a koan, a poem, a book. What will serve you and your character well? Time and space remain flexible. If you’re flitting through the 14th century, you can bring a 20th century text with you.  

Looking forward to hearing from you.
