Travel Tips

We walked in the sun, we walked in the rain
We walked in doubt and we walked in certainty
We walked on concrete and we walked on sand
We walked forever in a haze of unreason
We walked into a cave with banners held high
We walked along a cliff’s edge, we walked in single file
We walked in joy, we walked with sorrow
We walked with pain and we walked in pleasure
All the many states we walked through –
We developed blisters and took a rest
Getting up to walk again, we saw our shadows
Sleeping in the nights we heard a calling
Our feet took us anywhere we wished to go
And many places we didn’t
We worked and we danced, we sowed and we reaped
The leaves falling down around us betokened loss;
But the sun above betokened ever-present hope
