Capacity Quote by Christina Baldwin

“Wonder and despair are two sides of a spinning coin. When you open yourself to one, you open yourself to the other. You discover a capacity for joy that wasn't in you before. Wonder is the promise of restoration: as deeply as you dive, so may you rise.” quote by Christina Baldwin — Download Open image
