Journeys

I was talking to a person once, and I was holding my bags in one hand.  Halfway through the conversation, I thought that perhaps I should drop my bags.  This had a profound effect.  Are we all traveling so far and so fast that we just don't take the time to realize what is going around us?  The conversation was so refreshing that I felt I was being rude to the other person by holding my bags, as if I had somewhere else to go.  Drop the bags.  Stop what you're doing.  Just drop.  And stop.  It's worth it.

Trust me.
