Need for travel

“We need to travel. If we don't offer ourselves to the unknown our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don't lift to the horizon; our ears don't hear the sound around us. The edge is off our experience and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day and find we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days. Don't let yourself become one of these people. The fear of the unknown and the lure of the comfortable will conspire to keep you from taking the chances the traveler has to take. But if you take them, you will never regret your choice. To be sure, there will be empty moments of doubt when you stand alone in an icy rain, or when you are ill with fever in a rented bed. But as the pain of the moment will come, so too will they fall away. In the end, you will be so much richer, so much stronger, so much clearer, so much happier and so much better a person that all the risk and hardship seem like nothing compared to the knowledge you have gained."

~Letters to my son: A fathers wisdom on Manhood, Women, Life and Love by Kent Nerburn~


I have a heart
My heart has needs
That's ok
I like listening to my heart, although sometimes it can be scary
I always have a choice!
I can choose for Love or Fear
I decided I like Love better
Love doesn't make life easier, but it sure makes it a lot more interesting
And that's ok
