Truckin
I watched Motorcycle Diaries today. I thought it was a really great movie. There is so much out there that I want to have my eyes opened to.
I really want to travel, but there are two different me's that want to travel. There is the me that wants to go and do something somewhere to help someone... a la missions...then there's the me that wants to just plain travel, take in culture, beauty and life...write, paint, hear music in different languages. The idea of doing it all by myself actually intrigues me. A cross country trip or a trip overseas somewhere with a journal. I don't know if I would have the guts.
Earlier tonight I was having a conversation about this travel "dilemna", then as I sat down to start to put these thoughts into a blog, I had a "duh" moment. I always think of sharing my faith in a day to day lifestyle way, not the handing out pamphlets kind...but today, when I was thinking of travelling I compartamentalized it. Weird. Whether I happen to join an organized group travelling with a specific project in mind, or if I am meeting random people on buses, diners and streets somewhere sharing stories...what I am doing is just as important. It's in the living out your faith through action in all things. That's something I need to practice more right here at home...but I still am dreaming about travel these days.
