Have you ever had a song that was just stuck in your head and it just wouldn’t leave that wonderful brain of yours? Of course you have! Everyone has this problem. Whenever I travel, I have one particular song that comes to my head. I may just be on a bus going from one end of town to the other or on a train heading across the country. I could just be walking on a boardwalk that I am unfamiliar with. This one song always registers. Now if I could just get some loud speakers set up and a camera rolling, I could have my own sound track to the story of my life. Wouldn’t it just be great to be walking around somewhere and that song, that would fit magically with your life, just happens to come swarm around you.
That darn song that comes into my head, that I just can’t help but sing the chorus to, it is by a singer that goes by the name Chris Stapleton. Ever heard of him? He is all the rage now in the country music industry. People around were I live just love him. I live in an area of lots of corn stalks and bean fields, so take that info for what it’s worth. Any who. So here I am stuck with the song “Traveller” in my head (May I add that we spell traveller the same, go us, Christ Stapleton!). I just bought another ticket to go to yet another place.
There are lots of people in my everyday life that are, dare I say it, impressed with how much I travel. What they don’t know is the reason for my travel. I have an addiction. It can be an expensive addiction, but not damaging to my body, soul and mind, like some addictions can be. Whenever I happen to have a bad day at work, or something in my life I just feel like I need to run. I need to escape. At this point I am feeling lost and the only way to feel, even just a little bit found, is to travel. So I book a flight or plan a weekend away, because that is just one step closer to spending time in another world where I can then reflect on who I am, what my purpose is, and why I matter in this world.
Each day I travel, I lose a little bit of my lost self, and become a little bit more found.

Maybe this plant is lost like I am, just trying to find a little space in the hardness that surrounds life.
