Why do I travel?
I journey to reveal
What is hidden within me.
In another country, I observe.
Sit quietly in the present.
No one knows my past,
Or where I have been.
In the moment I meet a countrymen
I’m a stranger in their land.
Greeting someone unique in time and place.
The crossroads of culture shared.
This is our only moment together.
We are who we are.
I look forward to hearing from you. Check out my website http://www.abberolnick.com to comment, find book club questions, query for a talk or to learn about my new book, The Underpainting.
