A New Journey

Hi! Today's poem is inspired by travel. Specifically, how traveling can awaken within us an awareness of connectedness, an appreciation of diversity, a broadening of perspective. These gifts do not automatically come with the purchase of an excursion or walk on the beach, but with an openness and willingness to be impacted by all that is new and comes your way. So, in that sense, every day can be a journey to some new place- not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, mentally. So here's to our beautiful journey. May it be full of beautiful sights! Distant Shores I long to travel to distant shores where the exotic becomes familiar and who I am becomes discovered; this exploration and uncovering starts by leaving one shore and going in search of another. My footfalls lead me toward a new horizon, lead  me home again. I am home again only for a while then I am filled with longing to travel once again to distant shores.  ...
