I’m looking in my backpack now….
# a Geelong writers notepad
# pencil and a pen
# poems I am taking to recital event tonight
# poems for my Sunday morning’s poetry group
# the 27th Tullawalla booklet of my poems (to give away to someone/anyone)
# a bottle of water
# no snack, I’m having dinner before I go
# a small packet of tissues … I cry a lot for no reason ..
# my medications (just in case)
# some lollies/chocolates ..
That’s all you need! Wonder! And the backpack of course…with the rest. I’ve truly enjoyed my travels and meeting new people. New cultures. And in a way grown with better understanding and appreciation of people and natures, cultures different to my own. In my own country too… we’re different from region to region. I’m glad I had that “wonder” and “backpack”. You’ve expressed this so well!
Thank you so much Joy. I wish I could travel to the extent that would truly help me be a better human. But even taking road trips from home I observe such little differences in people and communities. It’s wonderful to see. I just really appreciate the diversity that other communities and cultures give the world.
Thank you! I do love to ‘meet’ new cultures. I don’t even have to travel to do so. In my job I have come across many ‘new to me’ cultures and they have been joyous interactions.
