"Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet" ~ Sarojini Naidu



	"Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet" ~ Sarojini Naidu The song below, Lonely Gypsy Wind, is close to being My Life Story. Meh... who am I kidding, it is my life story. Lonely Gypsy Wind Save my tears cause I've done my crying There's no use in me denying My old friend this lonely gypsy wind Oh lord I'm getting that feeling again Feeling kinda restless and it hard to pretend The same anxiety is settling in And I'm close but I still ain't home Well you don't know the life and the time I've spent Try to the the leaving out from under my skin Get myself convinced and then The ties that bind unwind again Heaven help me when it starts blowing Try to fight it but I know I'm going There's a place that's calling Destination: I don't know I save my tears cause I've done my crying There's no use in me denying My old friend this lonely gypsy wind (Instrumental Break) Some find peace in solid ground Find themselves a reason for hanging around The only kind of peace I've ever found Is the rustling of the leaves and a highway sound Heaven help me when it starts blowing Try to fight it but I know I'm going There's a place that's calling Destination: I don't know I save my tears cause I've done my crying There's no use in me denying My old friend this lonely gypsy wind My old friend this lonely gypsy wind. *** Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet, Through echoing forest and echoing street, With lutes in our hands ever-singing we roam, All men are our kindred, the world is our home. Our lays are of cities whose lustre is shed, The laughter and beauty of women long dead; The sword of old battles, the crown of old kings, And happy and simple and sorrowful things. What hope shall we gather, what dreams shall we sow? Where the wind calls our wandering footsteps we go. No love bids us tarry, no joy bids us wait: The voice of the wind is the voice of our fate. -Sarojini Naidu Until this page is created the way it's intended to be, I'll leave you with some travel quotes I enjoy.** A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. - Lao-Tzu It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end. -Ursula K. LeGuin So you set out to travel to Rome... and end up in Istanbul. You set off for Japan... and you end up on a train across Siberia. The journey, not the destination, becomes a source of wonder. -Loreena McKennitt Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World. -Christopher Columbus I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. -Douglas Adams An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered. -G. K. Chesterton The real thing is not the goal, the real thing is the beauty of the movement. The real thing is not reaching, the real thing is the journey. Remember, the real thing is the journey, the very traveling. It is so beautiful, why bother about the goal? And if you are too bothered about the goal, you will miss the journey, and the journey is life - the goal can only be death. -Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain] The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. -M Scott Peck The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn. -David Russell Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way. -Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. -J. R. R. Tolkien The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. -J. R. R. Tolkien Not all those who wander are lost. J.R.R.

Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it. -Rosalia de Castro There is a third dimension to traveling, the longing for what is beyond. -Jan Myrdal The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see. -G.

Chesterton Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts. -Minor White To travel is to take a journey into yourself. -Danny Kaye Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life. -Michael Palin You lose sight of things... and when you travel, everything balances out. -Daranna Gidel Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. -Benjamin Disraeli A turtle travels only when it sticks its neck out -Korean Proverb Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Your feet will bring you to where your heart is. -Irish Proverb Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness -Mark Twain The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends. -Shirley MacLaine We must travel in the direction of our fear. -John Berryman Travel teaches toleration. -Benjamin Disraeli If you have enthusiasm, you have a very dynamic, effective companion to travel with you on the road to Somewhere. -Loretta Young When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable. -Clifton Fadiman Make voyages! Attempt them... there's nothing else. -Tennessee Williams I traveled a good deal all over the world, and I got along pretty good in all these foreign countries, for I have a theory that it's their country and they got a right to run it like they want to. -Will Rogers We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey. -John Hope Franklin If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. -John D. Rockefeller The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing." -Daniel J. Boorstin Unexpected travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God -Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling -Margaret Lee Runbeck We need only travel enough to give our intellects an airing. -Henry David Thoreau Every perfect traveler always creates the country where he travels -Nikos Kazantzakis Spirit of place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety; and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place, seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own accidents, its habits, its breath, its name. -Alice Meynell Traveling through the world produces a marvelous clarity in the judgment of men. We are all of us confined and enclosed within ourselves, and see no farther than the end of our nose. This great world is a mirror where we must see ourselves in order to know ourselves. There are so many different tempers, so many different points of view, judgments, opinions, laws and customs to teach us to judge wisely on our own, and to teach our judgment to recognize its imperfection and natural weakness. -Michel de Montaigne All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it -Samuel Johnson Travelling is almost like talking with those of other centuries. -Rene Descartes Travel safe and arrive happy. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba Happiness is not a station to arrive at, but a manner of travelling -Margaret Lee Runbeck Site Map: Not that it matters... - A Life in 1062 Words - Discovery - Green Fingers - Soft Hands - Wandering Feet - Life is a Process - Foodie Fest - Lost in the Attic 1 - Lost in the Attic 2
