Quote of the Day: Travel Sometimes we travel to get away and see something of the world. Sometimes we travel just to get away from ourselves. Sometimes we travel to convince ourselves that we are getting someplace. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews lists a number of gadabouts like Noah and Abraham, Sarah and Jacob, and the footloose Israelites generally. He then makes the point that what they were really doing was seeking a homeland, which they died without ever finding but never gave up seeking even so (Hebrews 11:14). Maybe that is true of all of us. Maybe at the heart of all our traveling is the dream of someday, somehow, getting Home. ~originally published in Wishful Thinking and later in Beyond Words
