You can travel the world only to find what you are looking for at home

1 You can travel the world only to find what you're looking for at home

Traveling can be a marvelous adventure. An opportunity to experience cultures and visit locations far from your own piece of the world. It can teach you more than any book or university could. It can be a time to relax, recharge and rejuvenate.

Or it can be a journey to find something you seek. Whether that is said adventure, love or simply yourself, it is not always the answer. Sometimes you can travel the world, only to find what you are looking for at home.

The theme for The Challenge this month is “Globetrotter.” Check out the participant’s main stores to find your own travel souvenirs.

Light Bright Shining

1 Light Bright Shining1

Companion to me in every place,
You stretch your hand: I see
Majesties of mountains
Crowned with living light.
Your arm flings wide: I see
Wild little islands wrapt in fog
Grey luminous; hidden folds
Of emerald and ermine earth.
I fly free clean through glowing
Cat’s eye aquamarine
Filled with light air breath
Swaddled in this cocoon
This dense and lifeless mass
Yet weightless I
soaring with it shall be for you
Light bright shining

Stolen Stars From The Sky

1 Celestial 1

He must have stolen some stars from the sky,
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes.
I had my chances, but I set you free.
And now I wonder why I couldn’t see.
~ From “You Look So Good In Love” by George Strait

Oh, what a beautiful song…it’s about love and loss and memories. It is sad and wistful with a touch of regret. It is proof that you don’t need a pickup truck or Mama or an ole yeller dog to write a perfect country song.

I was reminded of this tune when I saw the latest creation from Cheeky Pea for Uber. As with everything Isla Gealach creates, the textures are amazing the detail is incredible. I actually got goose bumps reading the little quotes on the stars and moons decorating the canopy. And with all twelve zodiac signs available as a wall-hanging, you can chart your stars to suit any horoscope.

You can share it with your sweetheart or curl up and reminisce about stolen stars from the sky.
