Squander your comfort
and tear down your cottage
Carry a tent with valor
Everywhere is now home
Mislay your faith in those
Who feel the pain is real
Let the mildew grow
On the trophies of
Yester-years
Declare you saw the schemes
Invisible to others
And if ever you hit the target
Be sure to alter the limits
Your journey is not to end
You have been
Crowned the pundit

Wise advice. Home is whee we choose to be and always push further than where you aim so that life never becomes stagnant.

You point out that maybe nomads were on to something in their constant wandering.

Elizabeth, you read my mind with pin-point accuracy. Yes, I do wonder what makes them wander.I think they have a lot of fun. Constant changes probably enriches their lives. They are purpose -driven in a way that could create some awakening . That, comes from the freedom from living a “regular” life. For one thing , they gain first-hand knowledge from different parts of the globe. In so doing, they become at ease with different cultures and people. Their risk-taking attributes helps them to create uncommon connections, true life stories, and to constantly redefine themselves. They are liberated from conformity. So as you put it, they may be up to something – something unseen, but definitely tangible. Thank you for reading. As always, your comment is a delight.
