Travel. How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year?
~ December 22 prompt
I’d like to say I traveled well…
The road wasn’t always smooth or well planned
There were hidden curves
The occasional mountain to scale
But also, beauteous fields of gardens in the Realm of Skipping For Joy
Deep, wooded forests and babbling brooks in the Land of Contemplation
Many miles traversing the lands of the Empire of Healing
(There I honed my strengths and darned the loose ends of my heart)
I visited places by plane, on a train, on foot, by bus, bike and car
Some were nearby while others were… not
Much time was spent travelling the Path of the Novice
There were places I didn’t go when I really wish I had
Others that could only be visited on a mat or cushion
Inner or outer travels, it matters not
The Principality of Truth governs them all
And is my compass, my inspiration and my goal
::
As I’ve traveled before
So I’ll travel again
Revisiting places I’ve already been
But seeing them afresh no less
A new story
A wider view
While the pathways aren’t always clear
I’m always checking back into Truth
An embassy everywhere I go
Another passport stamp
Of my pilgrimages
Perhaps I’ll get on a plane or two
Fly away for a while
But always returning
Traveling ever inward
Ever home
