‘O to the great fortune of travel
The world has given me, among many, the opportunity to see itself in all its grandeur
Its vast mountains and deep basins
Its hot springs and valleys
Its ice cream shops and retro diners
Its wi-fi cafes and currency exchanges
O how great such a fortune has been
Enabling me to see beyond the confines of my own geography
Offering me visions and site and scents to know
That dogs are beautiful in nearly every global region
That garlic tastes good on nearly every international cuisine
O how unsettled this fortune makes me
How indeed it is a fortune
And for most a privilege
Such a privilege comes with a responsibility
Responsibility, which, at the minimum, calls on us to share our experiences
O to the fortune of traveling
That has enabled me to see beyond myself
Allowing me to understand that human goodness is limitless
That love knows no borders in its abundance
And sometimes trickles down into the most unexpected, local places
Like King 235
