Ramblings of a Lost Traveler

Should I count the stars or the infinite grains of sand? How many drops of water could the Seine River have? Prague, Budapest or Vienna? Cambodia, Malaysia or Vietnam? Where will this wind sweep off my feet?

If only my soul could stay in one place, where in this world could that ever be?

Far away in the Himalayan Mountains, where I can brew myself some Jasmine tea, or near the crystalline waters of the Caribbean or the Mediterranean Sea?  Would I rather ride elephants in Thailand or in India? Would I rather sail along great whales or jeep-race against cheetahs? Would I rather eat in New Orleans some oysters and fluffy beignets or in Greece, some tzatziki, olives and a side-order of pita? Would I rather shop in Champs Elysees or in some Turkish bazaar? Would I rather be called crazy, extravagant or bizarre?  


Too many choices and one life to live, but if I choose wisely, one is all I need.
