There are markets and markets. Then there is Maeklong. Inviting sea food and delectable veggies all arranged and stocked with care. Remarkably clean for the volume of produce!

But that’s not the point. As any cursory internet search will tell you. Tourists get here to see the locomotive run through the market. The retractable awnings retract and in a flash they come back again!

Entrepreneurial with a smile. Calm. Composed and ready to strike a deal. Those are the people who sell their ware here.

For the tourist, the train is a sight. For the local it is routine. And as one of them said, ‘publicity’!

Between stimulus and response there is ‘choice’. Viktor Frankl’s famous and profound work consumes me today.

There is always a mountain of stuff to be done, people to be met, convincing to happen, arguments to be closed. There is always more to do. In more ways than one thats good.

It gives purpose to the day. It gives energy and a reason to summon every ounce of energy and then go after what the day presents.

With joy and abandon.

Afterall, between what the day throws at you and how you respond to it, there is choice.

Smile.

Go kiss the world.

When you leave sight of a shore, new adventures come your away. Yet, the allure of adventure must override fears. Fears of loss and pain. Sometimes unfounded and at other times rather practical.

But it is in the courage to seek new shores that life seeks its renewal from. It is this seeking that we need to keep alive in us. To stay curious and to have the courage to leave shores that have been kind and familiar.

It is in this seeking that new journeys emerge. When the new journeys emerge new insights come by.

Somewhere along the line, new eyes and a new mind appears.

Go travel.
