Three Travelers - Thursday Thoughts
Tuesday I shared conversations with three good friends all hitting the road via different vehicles and heading all different directions. While all three know each other, they were probably unaware of each others’ travel plans and stories, at least till it sparked in dinner on the deck
The only traveler of the three not currently in Indiana is packing up in a few weeks to return to Europe, France in particular, Paris specifically. Entirely excited for a huge step ahead, probably still awake from the adrenaline of a short-notice international adventure ahead. A long conversation about very old photographic techniques and the writings of Ansel Adams had us both pondering the art and awe of photographs made on silver and gelatin not pixels and flash memory.
The second of the traveling trio drove over twice today during his time off between shifts at his new job of trucking. 18 wheels and a lot of interstate to see. Picked up a well worn acoustic guitar to try his skills at during the off-hours. He almost always stays around late to share a laugh, watch a movie, have a sundae.
The third traveler works in transportation as well, but will travel on two wheels and as much speed as his feet will pedal. He has rode and was planning to ride his bike to work this week - about 18 miles each way.
To you three, keep on trucking.
