"Today, like every other day, we may wake up
empty or frightened.
Don't
open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical
instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of
ways to kneel and kiss the ground. "
Jalal ad-Din Rumi13th Century Persian Poet

this beautiful photograph sums up your enthusiasm on so many different levels! happy travels!
The ending of that, "There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground" is one of my favorite Rumi lines (or pair of lines--not sure how it looks in the original), and it goes surprisingly well with the photo and text beneath it--driving down the highway on a cross country excursion count as one of those "hundreds of ways?" I would think so....
