It’s Monday, yet again, it’s sunny and not too bad but there’s heat on the way, unbearable, heavy heat. At least we’ve been warned.
I guess.
It’s one of those Mondays where my list just keeps growing, moment by moment. There will always be times like that, no matter the other undercurrents of life.
I guess.
Travel is not on that to do list, and though part of me wishes it was, the other part of me couldn’t deal with the hassle, now with more hassle. Air travel seems problematic, cruise travel seems problematic, train travel is train travel and though I might enjoy a day or two, I am not sure I’d like more than that.
In my head, I’d like to see the world, all of it, all it has to offer, but the world in my head is a different world than the one we have right now. It’s amazing how a few people can change the entire tone of the globe, seemingly just like that.
I guess a rotten apple does spoil the barrel.
And it only gets worse when you throw in some worms. But not the good kind who make soil and all that important stuff.
The slimy kind.
I guess.
It will be wonderful when this passes, like all things do. How long it will take to do that, well, that’s tough to say.
But I’d like at least the fantasy of travel again.
I’d like the freedom to imagine myself in pictures of far flung locales, enjoying local foods, feeling well and truly “away.”
It’s probably a summer thing, this desire to be somewhere else. But the somewheres are no longer as clear, and the getting there is no longer half the fun.
And a lot of this could just be me, maybe many of you, most of you, some of you are traveling as you always did, and if that’s the case, I hope the trips are wonderful.
But for me, at least for now, I need to find something else, a less literal means of escape.
Have a great Monday.
