AT THE BEGINNING OF THINGS

Track: Ramble On (Led Zeppelin) 

We all need an escape.

At least a temporary diversion from long-term plans, monthly expenses and day-to-day regimens.  Not because we hate the very nature of our present lives.  Not necessarily.  Although there are those out there who would refer to their current state as a living embodiment of infernal torment and suffering (which many whose trade involve in the constant usage of their creative talents would relate to such a thought).  But whichever glass of water you fall in, there are times when all we feel the urge to simply break away from our immediate routine(s).  A desire to go beyond the realms of what is familiar into something totally imperceptible.  Whether we admit it or not, we seek the occasional chaos because it gives us the sensation of life and hopefully keep us from going over the edge.

Travelling has been quite the agreeable escape for us wayfaring trio in terms of providing that much needed boost and revitalization. Perhaps even, regained a child-like innocence that which the discovery of new places and the treasures held within them widened our amazement as well as our curiosity.  Every locale, whether it took us an impressive distance to reach or simply a few blocks away from our homes, had certainly a tale to tell and for us to be involved in it was always welcomed.

As we attempt to account and graciously share all the finds and sightings, all the skirmishes and bliss that have and will befall on us, we do hope that we would in some ways encourage you, dear readers, to momentarily turn away from your computers, mobile tablets and smart phones and go MAKE YOUR OWN JOURNEY.  Set out to go somewhere unbeknownst to you before. Do things that may have been uncharacteristic of you.  Surprise yourselves at what you will find and what you will be able to do.  However, never ever be disappointed.  The mistakes are there for you to be challenged and often designed to make you laugh.  Welcome the times you get lost or feel lost. Tell yourselves that life is truly worth discovering over and over again and that there can never be enough lessons to be learned.

Good luck and we hope to travel with all of you soon.
