The essence of travel is in our desire to discover. A most basic desire of the human soul, discovery calls up the Child Experience, where everything is new and fresh and lies waiting.
Traveling imprints the soul's visa with an exemption from the mundane cares of every day life. Doors do open, providing
opportunities to delight in the unexpected.
Preferring to bypass the cities, I ramble around in the countryside, where each day exploring brings new treasure to light. "Time Is ~ Time Was ~ Time Is Not," this discreetly chiseled inscription, found on
a churchyard sundial, might best describe the essence of traveling throughout.
History and prehistory surface at every turn and I find myself magically falling back
through the ages. Here, there exists the feeling of tapping into an intangible undercurrent of some ancestral memory bank. Some connection to a lost past. The landscape breathes and is alive with enchantment. The veil draped between the known and the unknown seems
thinner.
Letting myself travel lost, far off the touristed map, not knowing where exactly I am, gives me unrestricted access to the unexpected. It is then that synchronous events flourish. It is where I begin to regain myself, and where the return to magic starts.
There is nothing better than to be lost in the winding, narrow, country lanes bordered by those tall hedgerows that define the patchwork of luxuriant green and tawny-yellow fields. With a bit of luck, I stumble on some great ruin of an ancient age around the next leafy turning. A fork in the path leads to a tea garden setting of the 19th century. Ahead, a
bend in the road provides a flickering glimpse of a castle ruin through the elms.
Unexpectedly, in fields of golden grain, immense, ancient stones stand shimmering in the sunlight. Accidental discoveries that open something in my heart. And there's the beauty for me. Not so much seeing the sights, as being part of the moment of discovery.
Absorbing the moment. Letting myself be as lost as possible, with a light and merry heart. I travel exploring not only the tangible landscape around me, but also that which drifts out before me, ephemeral, elusive and compelling. Venturing away from the known circuit
gives rein to my soul's purpose. A desire takes root as something of a personal calling, and I am immersed in the fluid pool of discovery. I saunter. Sauntering allows oneself the opportunity to take in the expected. That, which was alone waiting for its discoverer. A lovely surprise left by a mirthful sprite.
Nothing opens my soul more than partaking in this vast and awe-inducing, cosmically
planned Easter Egg hunt.

I fell in love a lot of times. I met different people, from different walks of life, and tried to deal with their personalities. I defeated all the pain, the heartaches, and trashed all the memories which made tears roll down my face. But as they say, repeated experiences make you tired and may even keep you wasted. I got tired. My heart got tired.
I became numb.
By the time I realized that, I felt really sorry for myself, for I can't have that great feeling working through my system again. I admit that I admired people for their looks, their talents and their character, but never did my heart beat the way it did when I felt love in the past. I tried falling for someone, but no matter how hard I do it, I can't make myself fall in love again. Yes, you can never let yourself fall in love, because it just happens - to the most unexpected person, at the most unexpected time.
I closed my eyes, and believed that no one can make me feel love again, and then I thought of permanently closing my heart. Though there were some who admitted that they have feelings for me, still I can't guarantee that I can love them back. I just can't feel it. No love, no tears, no pains. I have friends, and I considered them as my love.
I don't want to fall in love again.
I don't want to get hurt again.
I don't want to feel the pain.
I promised myself,
I will never fall in love again- never!
...until you came...
I broke that promise I made,
For at last, I felt love again - a love to last forever!
No, I still don't want to feel the pain.
No, I still don't want to get hurt again.
But you're worth it, And yes, I want to fall in love again.
I opened my eyes, and believed that you made me feel love again, and then I thought that I was a fool for attempting to permanently close my heart. You never admitted your feelings, but if you'll do, I'll guarantee you all my love. Now, I can feel it. Yes to love. And I will never let tears and pains bother us. I still have friends, but now, this is a different kind of love.
By the time I realized that, I feel great for I have that great feeling flowing down through my veins. I admit that I admired people in the past, but what's important is you who I admire and love at present. I didn't try falling for you, I didn't make myself fall in love with you, because it just happened - to the most unexpected person, at the most unexpected time.
I am in love.
I fell in love a lot of times. I met different people, from different walks of life, and tried to deal with their personalities. I defeated all the pain, the heartaches, and trashed all the memories which made tears roll down my face. But as they say, you should never get tired in experiencing things, for they give you lessons to ponder. I love you. I'll never get tired. My heart will never get tired of loving you.

"One of my life's worse scenario... It's when people assume that they know me even without trying to look deeper, and judge my actions without knowing my own reason behind it."
"I'll play a song that would never ever end cause i love, love, love to dance with my father again... ...There's two things I know for sure she was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl..."
"When God knows I'm ready for the responsibility of commitment.. He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.. I'll wait patiently.. I don't waste my time searching and wishing.. I'll grow and be ready.. And I'll see.. God will give me a LOVE STORY far greater than I could dream of!"
