“I’m in”
In the buffet lineup on a cruise ship I asked a fellow beside me my question of the day, ‘What do see the difference between being a traveler and a tourist?
He was instantly engaged and shared some good ideas. ‘Traveler’s pay attention and are willing to go deeper, change direction in their lives’ . His life goals changed when he saw an ultrasound of his son. Rather than wanting to be a millionaire, he was in the process of moving from Ft St John to Nova Scotia, where he wanted to take his masters in counselling psychology and help people for free. I said that I was working on a documentary around my day’s question and would love to include him in some video interviews. He immediately said, “I’m in.” We met the next day and recorded some great examples.
A woman in a buffet lineup on a cruise ship told me that she was retired. I asked her what she was focusing on now in life. After a very busy family and professional life, she is dedicating her time to rebuilding her marriage. ‘So many hit this point in their life, and then divorce.’ She and her husband both have this focus. There’s a tie in to their spiritual practice.
Smaller ship allows you to go to more intimate, scenic environs/ locations. I sat in the ‘crows nest’ of a cruise ship for about 2 hours talking to a stranger and soaking in the very slow paced unfolding beauty of scenic cruising on our way to Juneau, Alaska. It felt like being inside a slowly unfolding photo album. While the pervading colours on this rainy day were bluish.. watching the landscape continue to unfold mirrored the depths of conversation we shared about life and work and being a traveler. It was truly in the spirit of being a ‘traveler in your own town’… of no thought of following up or reconnecting.. just experiencing that moment of exploration.
