About Me
- Jules
- I'm a miniscule speck in this crazy old world, and I'm trying to see as much of it as I can. Read along with me as I meet new people, experience new things, and see new horizons.
My Travel Journal
I didn't go on this trip to "find myself", but rather to become the person I want to be. Open minded and outgoing, spontaneous and easy-going. Not to mention seeing the world along the way.
I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures. They may not always be exciting, but they'll be important to me. Please leave lots of comments; one can never have enough notes from home.

Food For Thought
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid, more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live
so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
~ Dawna Markova
The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
