BE - I too this photo at an outdoor book market in Paris. Through 2020, many have learned about being rather than doing as we've been in and out of quarantine, shutdowns, and lockdowns. Exploring and adventure doesn't always mean traveling somewhere, join me as I blog and explore!
lauren's musings
Blogging + exploring
Today I’m headed back to kiev from a weekend “off” visiting a dear friend in the south of Ukraine. It’s a 17 hour journey on a train to arrive back home and I am convinced that the rail is my favorite mode of transport.
There is a strange sense of community you can build in your car, you eat together, rest together, play together, and many Ukrainians drink together.
There’s a nostalgia I find in this, as a passenger, I have no control. All I can do in and of myself to control is get on the train and get off the train as I watch life pass by (inside and out).
You see there’s something that a traveler must learn. We can plan our path but we can’t plan our journey. I find great freedom in that.
Think of a time where your life was so planned that there was no space for change. Did it happen as you thought? Is there anything preventing you from getting on the train and living the journey?
Love this post and the journey- good to catch up on your thoughts and think of your next steps and community. Travel well and savor the journey!
