Travel Brave - November 2007

Palace of the Prince

People walk around with frames around their souls. Are we born with it? I don't know, but from an early age we begin to feel the edges of the permissible, the accepted and the traditions into which we now do life. Our frame can shrink and enlarge depending on the company we keep or the view from where we stand.

Travel helps us to look beyond our frame and to look into another's. By the connecting of minds, ideas, a common view, we find that our own frame begins to shift and bend and before, what was an encumbrance has become another perspective. The brave traveller understands this and uses every opportunity to rid himself of the fear that the frame is all there is. The frame is not all there is and it's not who we are.

Living in Sydney, I enjoy walking through the city at night. Surry Hills is a favourite with roads lined with trees, every one a timepiece and every falling leaf is a reminder that all is subject to change. Everything and everyone is in a sense, passing through from one state into another, from one room into the next. It is while traversing the streets of this city that I look into the faces of others as they brush past me...and I think on the loneliness that glistens in their eyes and tightens the line of their mouths. And I wonder if they look at me and see the same.

From Nice we travelled our way to the Principality of Monaco. The train ride took us through picture perfect vistas, a spattering of ocean views and green hills bursting with life and colour. There is a distinctive air of wealth as one arrives into Monaco. Even the train station is a beautified version of public transport found anywhere else in the world. We immediately got lost and had to ask a local standing on the platform for our way out. Once outside, the day ahead of us promised to be one of warmed sophistication
