Travel Light

24 Hours to sunrise Mountain peaks praying through their mists to peek into your eyes ancient and soul abundant, the bolts of the bus loosen a bit exhaust sighs into exuberance, A city opens it's gates to the game, the rules are simple and salty live to love through the pain, roads of commerce lead to the mountains where the only surplus for sale is the debris of age J.A.B. 2021

Always with your unique imagery: "Mountain peaks praying through their mists" love it...a line from a song comes to my mind after reading this..."everything is there forever til it goes" we keep on trekking! Always, Laura

In 2021 I traveled all around America by foot, train, plane and in a Cadillac. My destiny demanded me to embark on an impromptu odyssey that would test every fiber of my being, push my physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual thresholds to depths and heights grueling and gratifying. My life is afresh now, in a new place with uncertain charm...J.A.B.
