A Calling

They say that
If you want to see how you have been living through the years,
   go on an unplanned trip.

I don't choose my places to travel,
   they choose me.

I hear a calling, deep into my heart
Until I pack my bag, and just walk
   to a place unknown.

You know, how you see a place is how
   that place prefers to reveal itself to you.

And all that goes inside your heart
Reflects through your experiences in the outer world;
How you deal with it
   is the crux of how you deal with your life in general.

And what you take with you—
   the learnings, wisdom, memories, bondings
Stays with you forever.
