Travel Tips.




As long as we seem to be on the subjects of both travel and poetry, this is from my man Walt Whitman:


Come said the Muse,
Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted,
Sing me the universal.


And this is from Lao-Tzu, though you’ve probably seen it on Pinterest:


A good traveler has no fixed plan, and is not intent on arriving.

I like to think about that whenever I go out on adventures, though I have to modulate it some. After all, Lao-Tzu died 1,700 years before the invention of non-refundable airline tickets, so, you know.
