There are a lot of beautiful places on this earth.
My feet have only touched a few. But having seen what I have, I am <i> eager </i> for more.
These following words describe my feelings about travel quite well.
Orison Swett Marden writes:
The universe is one great kindergarten for man.
Everything that exists has brought with its own peculiar lesson.
The mountain teaches stability and grandeur,
the ocean immensity and change.
Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existance, leaves its impress upon the soul of a man.
Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.

IT'S UP TO YOU

1 song can spark a moment,
1 flower can wake the dream,
1 tree can start a forest,
1 bird can herald spring.
1 smile begins a friendship,
1 handclasp lifts a soul.
1 star can guide a ship at sea,
1 word can frame a goal.
1 vote can change a nation,
1 sunbeam lights a room.
1 candle wipes out darkness,
1 laugh will conquer gloom.
1 step must start each journey,
1 word must start each prayer.
1 hope will raise our spirits,
1 touch can show you care.
1 voice can speak with wisdom,
1 heart can know what's true,
1 life can make the difference,
YOU SEE, IT'S UP TO YOU!
