Wandering Thought #101: Travel
All travels are quests, even if informally. There are journeys for knowledge (study), work (income), courtship (love), leisure (entertainment), spiritual fulfilment (pilgrimages)… Of course, many trips are a mix of the above. Even a short trip to the mall or marketplace is spurred by a mission to get something. Even those doing window-shopping are wandering with some hope that something interesting catches their eye to make their day. That makes this entire life a major quest with many minor quests within. Do we get distracted by the micro goals and forget the original vision? What is your quest? What will you conquer? Will you be triumphant? As with all real quests, it is always a race against time that trickles away.
