T for... Travel

“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson

This post forms a part of the Blogging for A to Z Challenge. A quote a day based on the chosen word. A photograph that means something to me in relation to the word, but may not to you.

“A kite is a victim you are sure of.
You love it because it pulls
gentle enough to call you master,
strong enough to call you fool;
because it lives
like a desperate trained falcon
in the high sweet air,
and you can always haul it down
to tame it in your drawer.

A kite is a fish you have already caught
in a pool where no fish come,
so you play him carefully and long,
and hope he won't give up,
or the wind die down.

A kite is the last poem you've written
so you give it to the wind,
but you don't let it go
until someone finds you
something else to do.”
― Leonard Cohen, The Spice Box of Earth

G is for Gandhi, Indira Gandhi

those who do the work and those who take the credit.
He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition."
