It is reality, yet only one version of it
"Why do I read? To get out of myself." Maurice Nadeau
Why do I travel - to get out of myself and closer to you. Only by realising another context, another reality can we truly meet people from other backgrounds and perhaps even ourselves. We tend to think of ourselves as the norm, don't we? But unless we have met people in their own homes, in their own environment what we know remains theory and facts and it never trickles down to the heart. I take another flight somewhere and yet again I cannot help but think of the insignificance of the individual human being, down there like an ant, she is nothing.
As I meet people, see other horisons I collect a string of small gems, collected with consideration they make up a beautiful necklace....... small streams, small pearls.
Together.

ha ha .. funny indeed . Travel is a flirtatous thing. Rather if one has discover the beauty in this flirting he or she has to pay great deal of attention to detail . However if one has the aptitude its a different story .it comes with sensitivity and hands on painful experiences.
Merely wearing the raw gems around the neck don't satify the purpose .The raw gems have to be picked up, cut ,polished and placed amidst the right metal .then you can see the beauty ..the real beauty ..

The power of these phrases are pretty powerful.... Miss Lounger.
'Normality' is subjected to time, space, person and the environment.
It is indeed very optimistic to know that atleast people like you have accidentally or nonaccidentally have thought about it. Thereby it is good to know that you appreciate that 'Might may not always right and Majority may not be always right too'.
Bless you ..if you continue this attitude .....:-)
