wHAT tOURISM mEANS tO mE

The word finder defines tourism as a noun meaning “the business activity connected with providing accommodation, services and entertainment for people who are visiting a place for pleasure.”

Undeniably it is all this. Conspicuously more as well! Tourism relates to me in terms of outer exploration & inner search. It is a process to seek answers to screaming posers erupting internally. It means to re-establish a relation to where I originated from and a destination to which I am fated to converge with at eternity. It also denotes a possible karma which has to be fulfilled. At times it is to take an intrepid walk outside of my comfort zone to explore occurrences beyond. It is an exercise for my body, soul & mind to start flirting with natural rhythms of one another culminating into an eventual spiritual reunion to create a symphony of life. A philosophy to transform the process of being well off to one of well being. That of not merely earning a living but one of carving out a life. A transformation so exuberant and enriching, to stay devoid of which means anguish within. A meditative state to unearth the central fulcrum between enduring & curing. One of ecstasy to arrive at the destination just as much as the journey towards it. An odyssey beyond mortal existence. A debate towards self searching & self seeking in a reflective state of mind. To fuse the five senses within with the five elements without. A weld of the real with the virtual.

In stately effect, it is to me a holistic navigation towards self empowerment ……
An all encompassing JOURNEY OF IMAGINATION.
