    ...is a way of travel, not a destination". How are you traveling?

    that's a good way of putting it. one could also say it is a byproduct of being and doing what brings true gratification.

    either way, it's not something that can be commerced, only generated indirectly and generally nontangably.

    well creating and exploring are open endedly and inclusively 'mine'. meaning that is where i find it in the proccess of doing.

    figguring out how people could live that would make a world they/we could ALL be fat and happy in, and then trying to exemplify doing so.

    I find that when I take my life day by day, and not dwell on the future, the pieces of my life seem to fall into place. I am letting my life take me on it's course to where I'm supposed to be.

    I like the back roads. Might take longer to get there but you dont feel like everyone else has been there too!

    I agree. Happiness is a choice, not a circumstance we find ourselves in, and not something someone else can give us.

    I go traveling around sometimes and I've found that when you have this big agenda like your trip won't be complete unless you see it all and do it all, then you're ultimately not going to enjoy yourself, because your whole trip will be you stressing out trying to get everything done that you wanted to do.

    But if you just take things as they come, and be prepared to notice things you didn't expect and take detours if something catches your eye then you'll probably have a really good time. Because it's less about going to see something and taking lots of photographs, and more about taking things in and letting them change you. It's always the little things beat out the big tourist attractions every time.

    Sometimes you find a place you really like, so then you can stay a while and take it in-- and if you really enjoy it, you'll have no regrets if you miss out on something else.

    I am always stationary. The rest of the universe just moves around me.

    Love is the essence of all that there is, like a string behind beads on a necklace. Im always happy! Even when I get frustrated and overwhelmed with responsibility and adversity. :D
