falling in love with beauty

For me, travelling has always been a little bit risky... not in a typically dangerous or traumatic sense, but risky in the sense that I worry that small pieces of my heart will end up captured forever by the beauty of each new place I visit. The natural beauty of the world around me has always been enticing. Each mile of the road I travel calls to me with an invitation to explore, and play and pursue the created beauty set out in front of me. Despite the call to maturity that comes with age, I still want to touch and see the world around me with the curious, carefree and playful intensity of a child. Beauty calls me to explore this world with a vigor and passion known by way too few.
