The Travel of My Life

Being away from home for almost 10 months makes me feel homesick. The first time I felt it was during my second week here in Seoul, but then now it strikes again. I am trying to find the courage to continue with my journey, find words to motivate me and to enlighten me. Suddenly, I find these words comforting and began to contemplate in every words written on it.

A True Travel by Nazim Hikmet

The most magnificent poem hasn't been written yet
The most beautiful song hasn't been sung yet
The most glorious day hasn't been lived yet
The most immense sea hasn't been pioneered yet
The most prolonged travel hasn't been done yet.

The immortal dance hasn't been performed yet
The most shine star hasn't been discovered yet.

When we don't know any more what we are supposed to do
It's the time when we can do something true
When we don't know any more where we are supposed to go
It's the start when the true travel has just begun.

"My story should be written, so I need to keep moving".
