Explorer

Found this in my wallet today--it was part of a mural in the Auckland Airport in New Zealand.

Each flyer who ventures across oceans to distant lands is a potential explorer;
in his or her breast burns the same fire that urged adventurers of old to set forth in sailing ships for distant lands.

For some reason, that made this crazy trip to Perth part of a grander legacy of exploration and discovery. But then, those adventurers of old were probably pretty crazy too.

Go out and explore so those of us who have found new roots don't feel too rooted.
