On Roaming

A roamer is a person who travels to a place unaware to him nor to others. He neither knows the purpose nor the outcome of his roaming. He pays for others (incoming charges) and speaks less (outgoing charges). He is unsettled while the he doesnt realize the need to settle. However he waits for a break. Only to resume his travel to reach an unknown destination.

What distinguish a roamer and a traveller :- the purpose of the journey or the purpose of life. We see sanyasis roaming around in different places begging food. Is he a traveller or a spiritual roamer, trying to find the unknown destination, God. I find animals roaming around eating whatever comes before, attending to the call of nature whenever and wherever they desire. Are we following these, supposedly ancestors when we are roaming?

My mind roams, from Kerala to Mumbai, to Delhi to Spain to Holland to the World Cup, to the eternal world and to the inner world. I am waiting to reach my destination. We either stop ourselves or are forced to stop. Since both the place and the purpose is unknown, I still roam !!!
