Left to go on a trip, don't follow
wrote note on a slip, for tomorrow;
packed my bags, walked to the station
made my last calls, addressed the nation.

Woke up decided this place is not mine
here is where I find my body, no peace of mind;
there is too much to see in the world out there
then at home as I wait for cheques from welfare.

To discover the planet before we fail
I'll be a barrister with my own bail;
set a mark on the ocean between discovered masses
try my luck at adventures across desolate passes.

left to decide my fate,
have grown up of late,
need to stretch my feet beyond the curtains
witness challenging feats, that is certain.

(sigh) Oh Martin, I know this kind of wanderlust so much, sweet friend, while I want to live in the United States, I long to see so much of the world before I die, especially in central Europe and much of Latin America! (big hugggsssss) Such strong desire of travel fills your words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ownership of our own destiny is a challenging feat...May the wheel turn in your favor, as your ship comes in. Inspiring.

it may be my expression of the desire for travel, but I wouldn't read into that too much, the inspiration here comes from an old beatles song, where a girl leaves her home and writes a note for her parents telling them not to worry.
