WORDS ON TRAVEL.

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again the mind can never break off from the journey.

it is a change that goes on,
deep and permanent,
in the ideas of living.

Where highways never ran.

to watch them, to learn them, to live them, to love them,
till they have become a part of life and life's recollections.

Even disasters - there are always disasters when you travel -
can be turned into adventures.

in search of what he needs
and returns home

only of the miles covered that day,
rarely of what they had seen.
