A traveller is contemplating his journey


I am again about to embark on a journey to an unknown place and for a measure of time I do not know. The pursuit of happines and knowledge will take me to places I do no yet know and people I have yet to meet. For the last couple of days my time has been spent on sitting in the library coffee bar chatting with friends about the books we are currently reading and the films we are about to read, I have been drinking beer while discussing international politics, television programs and pizza recipes all jumbled together forming a good time well spent.

These few days I have been sitting in my comfy chair drinking tea thinking of knowledge yet to gain and new friends to drink coffee and discuss life, universe and something else not yet known to me with.

I can with confidence say that I am truly looking forward to undertake a new adventure.

MOST sweet it is with unuplifted eyes
To pace the ground, if path there be or none,
While a fair region round the traveller lies
Which he forbears again to look upon;
Pleased rather with some soft ideal scene, 5
The work of Fancy, or some happy tone
Of meditation, slipping in between
The beauty coming and the beauty gone.
—If Thought and Love desert us, from that day
Let us break off all commerce with the Muse: 10
With Thought and Love companions of our way—
Whate'er the senses take or may refuse,—
The Mind's internal heaven shall shed her dews
Of inspiration on the humblest lay.
W. Wordsworth
