"Every time you leave home,
Another road takes you
Into a world you were never in.
New strangers on other paths await.
New places that have never seen you
Will startle a little at your entry.
Old places that know you well
Will pretend nothing
Changed since your last visit.
When you travel,
A new silence
Goes with you
And, if you listen,
You will hear
What your heart would
Love to say."
John O'Donohue, from 'To Bless the Space Between Us'
