To Travel
 
 
Leaving for another country
Seeing what there is around you
There are a lot of people, activities, landscapes
But you are alone

You need to be comfortable in a crowd
You need to be comfortable with the unknown
You need to be comfortable far from home
To be comfortable when you're alone is a necessity

Traveling gives you the time to think
Traveling gives you the chance to dream
Traveling gives you the chance to miss
To remember how to miss

To miss is to remember
To remember what is most important
In your life
In the sky

You need friends
You need your family
You need something more
Some people call it God

The next time you travel
Don't forget that the most important thing
It's not the people, the landscape, the weather
It's the time to think...the silence...it's God
