I Travel Light

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.” -Cesare Pavese 

I Travel Light

by Carmen H Gray

In the station

Bustling with distractions

I glance around

At my fellow travelers

Heaving burdens

Possessions that subjugate the possessor

I look down at my own “belongings”

Be, meaning to exist

Longings, meaning to yearn for

And leave them

As I gingerly step forward
