Many of us have our own pre-travel rituals, tiny little habits we’ve evolved over the years - or maybe even the generations. Some of us are impatient to get going. Others may be more hesitant.
Count me among the latter group. As much as I enjoy a good road trip with my favourite peeps, I can’t stop thinking about that fleeting moment before home begins to recede into the rearview, and what it feels like to pause it all before time turns into distance.
Every tangent - in travel and in life - deserves reflection. That last moment before departure? Especially so.
Apparently I’m not the only one who feels this way, as this single gull way out on the water seems to be taking her time, too. I have no way of knowing what’s going through her mind as she leaves the waves behind and begins her climb into the sky.
But I imagine whether we’re birds or humans or whatever else, we all share the ability to appreciate where we are, where we’re headed, and how it feels to write our own journey’s story.
Fly safely, sweet bird.
