Why We Travel by Pico Iyer
I am writing this because it is the truth. And I fear it will be lost again or hidden, the way it has been in the last twenty years. So I am giving it form. Words on paper become truth. They say, "It truly happened." They do not take wings like words merely uttered, which quickly disappears with the wind.

I am writing this to make peace with my past for there is much there I have not understood until now. In accepting it, I may move on at last. Before I knew of the things I now record in these pages, I lived a life filled with uncertainties. Perhaps you know of that feeling, when you are filled with little pinholes that show up in the light and you wait for the answers that can make you whole.

This is a story of how I found those answers. I found them in the stories of different people. Do not judge them harshly for they are a part of me. And maybe you will see a part of you in them. After all, do we not belong in each others' stories?
