Photograph taken in the Parsi Temple of Baku, Azerbaijan. 
One who doesn't feel 
   a lot at home anywhere
 Begins to feel a little
   at home everywhere.

He sees not strangeness 
   in strangers --
 No more than he sees
   in himself.

Any one place is not
   greater nor lesser
      than anywhere else.
 
Lands of gold and riches
   are as likely devoid of 
      authenticity - of soul -
   as impoverished places
      are dripping with it.

PROMPT: Cross-Country

Daily writing prompt
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
View all responses

Could be any or all of the above, plus camel, foot, or snowmobile — depending on the country, of course.

I can’t say how I’d take a cross-country trip without knowing which country it is that I’m crossing. Vatican City frowns on you driving a bus through it, Russia is too long to do entirely on cross-country skis, and one can’t transit Bolivia in a ferry.
