Traces of You

Small encouragement from yours truly:

Though travel is currently limited, the lessons we learn along the way still exist. As soon as you can, get out there and seek to learn more about other cultures and people. And if physically going is out of the question, travel through a good book. Read an author or title outside of your comfort zone. Find the things that help you discover the hidden traces of yourself under the rubble of the day-to-day monotony.

Speech over. You may go about your business.

Inhale: a collection of haiku

 

Sky glows red

Light passes through

A new day

 

Rubs tired eyes

Sleep falls away

Mind alive

 

One breath then another

A new place

A new breath

Exhale

 

Feet step out

Carry forward

The street takes

Also gives

 

Taste all

Smell all

Inhale

Journey on

traces of you

My first post is an invitation. I will be sharing stories and poems that reflect places traveled and lessons learned. Won’t you join me?



To step out and leave—away!
To the elsewhere
Beyond the baseline—come!
Hand in hand we’ll share
In the going
 
To stride across the earth—away!
To the roads and skies
We’ll go on—come!
The learning sharpens eyes
And ears
 
To make the most of time—away!
To some other places
Near or far—come!
Discover hidden traces
Of you
