On travel

As we grow older and possibly - as we'd like to think - wiser, time becomes our most coveted commodity. Time to work, to close that deal, to cinch that sale, to make more money.  Time to play, with our friends our family. Time to rest, to recharge to rejuvenate and sometimes just to be with ourselves. 

I found myself in the company of some wonderful people recently. And spent the most precious commodity with them doing what we always do best - eat play drink and have fun. 

One lamented that some of us had to redo the same journey last year as this. Some had too little time to do so much, while others had to battle a bout of flu or two. 

Each day was different just as each turn of the road brings a different view. It's not so much the destination nor the sights. But the journey with the people that makes the experience. 

Each trip is different even if the places remain the same. It's the time with the people and the intimacy that we share which makes each journey unique as each one of us. 

The road ahead is always filled with new and exciting sights sounds and smells waiting to be explored. Come journey with me when you have the time. Come drink with me when you are happy or when you are sad. Come eat with me when you are hungry or when you've had too much to share. Come sit with me when you need to pour your woes or when you need another opinion. Or simply when it feels better to be alone with someone else. 

We've shared time and journeys together. So often it might be the intimacy that's lacking.

So think of me sometimes, deep in you, without the distractions of the world, remembering who we are,lest you forget who I really am.
