travel

the word travel excites me, brings my mind to wrap around the idea of going to new places, discovering new interests, landscapes, food, & people. there is always the need to retreat, spend time away from the usual, go to the unordinary. the longing to escape is a medicine that feeds us, our souls.

 after finding someplace new, we are renewed, refreshed, replenished. the pastel colors of new mountains, streams, fields, call us out to them, to explore what they hold. once bitten by the travel bug, you notice more and more in photographs of new places, how the architecture is different, how the landscape is exquisite.

the nostalgia of exploring captures your heart and soul, takes you to places you've never visited, calms your fears & anxiety. everytime I hear the sound of a plane engine, a train whistle, the faint sense of something new, my kind spins, fee tap, and I squint to find the door that leads to far off faces. the suggestion of travel hidden in everyday life can spin the minds of anyone who listens.
