What long term travel does to you,
As time passes,
You begin to forget who you were.
You go on.
Now, your base, you constantly change,
You have hardly any time to become someone else.
You go on.
You lose identity,
You drop the ego,
There is nothing left onto which you can hold.
You go on.
A true witness you become of yourself,
Of cultures, of people and their emotions,
Of the constructed world that surrounds,
You go on.
Suddenly, this is the most liberating experience you have of life,
Your life becomes beautiful without a reason,
No festive, but your life, a constant celebration.
You go on.
Ecstacy becomes yours,
The highest bliss,
The ultimate joy,
And still, you go on.
You become a Parivrajaka,
The eternal wanderer,
A pure spirit,
And there is no you anymore,
It all just goes on.
Parivrajaka is a sanskrit term. It means " The wandering monk".
