Life and Dreams

If I could live out my entire life the way I wanted to, I would travel constantly.
My ultimate dream is to see every scrap of earth on this planet, not miss any detail.
I want to see everything this planet holds. That's my ultimate dream.
There's an analogy I read once that says if the entire history of the earth were condensed into a phone book, then the entire history of human life on the planet would total one line of text on the last page.

That's what stage I'm sitting at in terms of my dream.

I've lived in One Tree Hill, South Australia; Takapuna Beach, New Zealand; and Oatley and Mortdale, Australia.

I've also travelled to America in 2001, and Vienna, Austria; Prievidza, Slovakia; Cheltenham and Malvern, England; and Singapore.
I can remember distinct moments that were completely unique to all of those trips, and similar moments for each of the places I've lived.

I remember the feel of the chilly waters and the grainy, pebbly sand of the edge of Lake Taupo, New Zealand.

I remember the fog and sticky vivid red mud of the wilderness around Sedona, Arizona.

I remember the wind and the sun, the rustle of the brown grass at the top of this peak; and looking out at the mountains playing themselves out to the horizon in the Mala Fatras, Slovakia.

Imagine building a lifetime of these moments, being able to recall the feel of the unique atmosphere of every single place on Earth. That's my dream.
