Too easy, I’d take on the role of a wanderlust traveller. I’d gleefully pack my bag, my camera and my imagination and head off into the wild unknown. I’d gladly let go of the chains that bind me to my chosen profession. Professional responsibilities that sometimes strangle the creativity and free spiritedness from my soul. I’d let go of it all, shouting out into the great unknown “I’m free to explore, to grow, expand and feel” . I would humbly share my experiences, my stories and photos, allowing those who could not travel to live vicariously through my explorations, moments of awareness and learning. I could be their traveller by -proxy, an extension of their inner desires to room freely. I would do all of this for free, unscripted and with a deep desire for social awareness and vulnerability. I would try and spread some kindness from stranger to stranger, unmet friend to unmet friend, as I learnt from others who walk different paths, and inhabit different worlds. Like an avid gardener, I would try and sow some seeds of kindness, acceptance and love. While at the same time allowing myself to be changed, affected by the difference that I saw.
Let’s be honest, given the current state of humanity, every little bit of love, compassion, joy and acceptance helps to tear down those walls of hate, ignorance and fear.
