Other places you explore. A handful of little shells and snails. A starfish smiles for the photo, and the crabs join in the fun. They make you feel like you're part of the movie of your dreams. Diving among corals and colorful little fish, you know the oxygen in every bubble takes care of your lungs and longs to rise back to the surface. Feeling the cool breeze, treating yourself to a sunny afternoon and a clear horizon, is one of the sweetest tricks your soul can play on you. The seagulls will ask if you're touching the sky.
A scent of wildflowers tells you spring has arrived, and trees whose very presence blesses your own. Other corners of the world can make you want to bow to them. As grand as a mountain, where a tiny figure meditates before the vastness of nature.
There are places that light you up, places that wrap you in a hug. There are places that shine! Their colors delight you, the shapes of dragons in the clouds, little seahorses, or maybe the gods of Olympus.
Hug, love, dream, and travel as many times as you can. A seal of peace will stay tied to your soul forever. All those places will remind you that we are nomads — travelers on roads where the destination might be uncertain, but where your determination to uncover their mysteries will make it possible for those fragments of experience, challenges, fears, hopes, and longings to leave behind a beautiful mark — one that makes people long for your return the moment you leave. The best compass is you.
There are places where the drums, the rhythm, and the tones of the music wrap you in an endless dance. Their culture and their flavors make you feel like you belong there, and when you leave, you carry a little piece of that place away in your suitcase.
