you'll spread your wings

I think to travel is as much a mental exercise as the physical move from one place to the next. The mind must follow along, you can’t leave any piece of yourself behind, no thought, no feeling. And if you want to travel light, you will have to give them to someone else, those thoughts and feelings, someone who will kindly forget they were yours to begin with, someone who will adopt them as their own.


To truly travel, you have to not connect dots. Your first sighting of Georgia here, I love you in a foreign tongue there. Every touchdown is a new beginning, it holds no parallels, no chance of repetition.


The mind must follow along, as must the heart. To leave nothing behind is to leave everything behind which might hold you back.
