Claiming the Place

By identifying and branding our experience, with exactness and with truth, we claim it as our own. And nothing could be more intimate. (Julia Cameron)

Wandering, the journey
appeared endless, pointless,
aimless. Wayside stops
for fast food, for self-indulgence,
the high points – I missed the trip.

Recovering, the journey
not my business, only today,
this moment important,
I look around, see scenery,
experience now, relish each moment
each step of the trip a high point.
