Let's Not Travel To Tick Things Off Lists...

Let's not travel to tick things 

off lists 

or collect half-hearted semi-treasures 

to be placed in dusty drawers 

in empty rooms.

Rather, we'll travel to find grounds 

and rooftops 

and tiny hidden parks, 

where we'll sit and dismiss 

the passing time, 

spun in the city's web 

'til we've surrendered, 

content to be spent 

and consumed. 

I need to feel a place 

while I'm in it.

~ Victoria Erickson

Move, Breathe, Fly, Float...

To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
to gain all while you give,
to roam the roads of lands remote,
to travel is to live.

~ Hans Christian Andersen

The World Is Big...

The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark. ~ John Muir
