It is no surprise but a dilemma when we want to escape our routines and the brain muddles in back into a hundred thoughts of the missing out. Wait, missing out on routine is not what you need, but the missing out on conversation and experiences that will happen as a result is definitely not what you\u2019d want. So, you may be sitting on your sofa, sipping coffee or chai, and reading this; so hear, hear if you\u2019re able to get off that sofa by the end of this article, I\u2019d say there is spiked a travel thought ! And what a beautiful way; but through the web of words.<\/p>\n

\"Friends<\/p>\n

\u201cI lie awake each night
\nStaring at the ceiling
\nFollowing each crack
\nFinding new routes<\/p>\n

Oh, how I\u2019d like to travel
\nSomewhere new,
\nSomewhere old,
\nSomewhere where the people;
\nSing merrily
\nDance happily<\/p>\n

Oh, how I\u2019d like to travel
\nOn a plane,
\nOn a boat,
\nOn something that will get me there;
\nFast, like a soaring bird
\nSafely, like a locked room<\/p>\n

Oh, how I\u2019d like to travel
\nTo see the sunset of a new horizon
\nTo smell the sweet smells of newness
\nLike the delicious croissants;
\nOf France
\nLike the finest chocolates
\nOf Belgium
\nLike the mouth watering tomatoes
\nOf Spain
\nTo taste each one would full
\nA delicacy unknown to my taste buds.<\/p>\n

Oh, how I\u2019d like to travel
\ncould be anywhere
\nit doesn\u2019t have to be far
\nbecause like every crack
\nit can be long route or,
\nit can be short route\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Land<\/p>\n

\u201cTravel!<\/p>\n

Do not hesitate
\nas hesitation is leading to defeat.<\/p>\n

Travel!<\/p>\n

And enjoy it.
\nTravel through time.<\/p>\n

Travel!<\/p>\n

Until you find the truth,
\nno matter where it is hidden.<\/p>\n

Travel!<\/p>\n

And search for it
\neven if it was in the unknown.<\/p>\n

On the road
\nleading from east to west.<\/p>\n

So, we may meet there.
\nFor the best\u201d.<\/p>\n

– Vida Nenadic \u201c Travel\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

I remember the temple, this route I\u2019ve travelled before,<\/p>\n

I recall the bridge as I cross it again.<\/p>\n

It seems the hills and rivers have been waiting,<\/p>\n

The flowers and willows all are selfless now.<\/p>\n

The field is sleek, and vivid, thin mist shines,<\/p>\n

On soft sand, the sunlight\u2019s colour shows it\u2019s late.<\/p>\n

All the traveller’s sorrow fades away,<\/p>\n

What better place to rest than this?<\/p>\n

– Du Fu (Chinese: \u675c\u752b, 712-770) \u201cTravelling Again\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rocky<\/p>\n

Not I, not anyone else can travel that road for you,<\/p>\n

You must travel it for yourself.<\/p>\n

It is not far, it is within reach,<\/p>\n

Perhaps you have been on it since you were born and did not know,<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is everywhere on water and on land.<\/p>\n

Walt Whitman \u201c Songs of Myself\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Colorado<\/p>\n

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?<\/p>\n

Yes, to the very end.<\/p>\n

Will the day\u2019s journey take the whole long day?<\/p>\n

From morn to night, my friend.<\/p>\n

But is there for the night a resting-place?<\/p>\n

A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.<\/p>\n

May not the darkness hide it from my face?<\/p>\n

You cannot miss that inn.<\/p>\n

Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?<\/p>\n

Those who have gone before.<\/p>\n

Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?<\/p>\n

They will not keep you standing at that door.<\/p>\n

Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?<\/p>\n

Of labour you shall find the sum.<\/p>\n

Will there be beds for me and all who seek?<\/p>\n

Yea, beds for all who come.<\/p>\n

Christina Rossetti \u201cUphill\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Hiking<\/p>\n

To where it bent in the undergrowth;<\/p>\n

Then took the other, as just as fair,<\/p>\n

And having perhaps the better claim<\/p>\n

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,<\/p>\n

Though as for that the passing there<\/p>\n

Had worn them really about the same,<\/p>\n

And both that morning equally lay<\/p>\n

In leaves no step had trodden black.<\/p>\n

Oh, I kept the first for another day!<\/p>\n

Yet knowing how way leads on to way<\/p>\n

I doubted if I should ever come back.<\/p>\n

I shall be telling this with a sigh<\/p>\n

Somewhere ages and ages hence:<\/p>\n

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,<\/p>\n

I took the one less traveled by,<\/p>\n

And that has made all the difference.<\/p>\n
