Travellers are the ones who hold knowledge from all over the world due to their to and fro motion like a vibrating tuning fork. Well I wouldn't begin to say I am anything other than stupid, however I do have travelled a lot. And no, I don't mean those small motion from the PC playing games to the fridge to get a snack, or the many times I walk without a single thought in my head. However the small excursions outside do tend to count, if you let your mind flow and be open to all the experiences and the information just waiting to be snatched from the vast bank of knowledge that is our environment. You just have to be humble and respectful to tap into the sacred nature bank.
Observe the small frivolities like the path of an ant, the movement of leaves, how people react with each other, and you are gaining a wealth of knowledge by just observing. Listen to the quiet humming of the bees, the rubbing of leaves on their fruits, the not so distant rumble of the construction works, the noise of the vehicles, and there within lies a knowledge far greater than any single traditional education let alone a book ever hope to capture in the small pages of its entirety.
I wouldn't say I am anywhere near the sage of the six paths(ya, I know, naruto reference right there, for the people who are shouting that out, bear with me, as I said not the sage of the six paths, ya tried to do a little recursion back there). However, to be able to be one with the harmony of the nature, and hopefully scrape a little bit of the top of pot that is overflowing of the brim, is what any of us could truly hope for in our small extinguishable candle, that is life.
Not asking you to give up on your life, hell for all I care, get drunk like a Irish supporter, party hard like the American teens, love like the Europeans, and succeed like the Asians. All I am telling is that start paying a little attention to your surroundings, to the beauty that god has gifted our planet with, be exhilarated with joy. All I'm saying is that take off a little time to just be yourself, walk alone or with friends without a noise and discover things just off the edge of the cliff.
Go into unchartered territories, find those crannies and nooks and mark them your own, explore, but most of all respect the nature. As, it can be a loving mother at one moment, and the wrath of god the next.
