If i travel i feel more vulnerable to the different elements in our environment..i feel more like a child wondering at the beauty of life, at the mystery that surrounds their beauty of their " ugliness". but at the same time their is that fear, that goes with the excitement and always i find myself thanking at the Creator for the grandiosity of everything, the mystery, the simplicity, the beauty, the quietness, the noise of the celebrations, the hugeness, the littleness...every steps make me feel so little but at the same time my heart feel so big because the experience.

It is a really amazing thing to look around mother nature and how God have beautified her. I had always wanted for the window seat and even now I just try to get that seat with a little compromise from DD. I love the nature so much. Travel or no travel, I just love to look at and enjoy the various things that nature have given us. It is always a pleasure to hear the birds sing early in the morning.

i was flying to Paris when i saw the Alps for the first time..I was an Asian and haven't seen a snow -capped mountain in my whole life.it was my first time..and i was murmuring this words..wow God..wow God...!!! But during those times the journey was bumpy and my stomach has started to get jittery..But the sight of the immaculate faces of the rocks and sides of the mountain took away all those fear...it was soothing...

I do not think of god when I am travelling. Iwill be watching the God's creation during this time. Herein India, most people pray god either in the morning or in the evening almost everyday.

Are you a Hindu or a Muslim? Muslims pray to God five times a day..I think you are correct..when we reach a certain depth in our faith we stop thinking about God - as if He's a separate entity..God is already a presence in us that we just stop to think of God as somebody else or as someone far.i dunno if you agree to this...but thank you so much..

same with me, it makes me feel thankful of God and how creative He could be, that he is the greatest artist ever, and a scientist, too. :)

Travelling makes you see alot of different things, people, scenarios etc. and this only makes me remember, GOD IS THE CREATOR!

Welcome to family. What a way to start a new discussion by a new person. I was becoming a little bit annoyed with new comers. They usually don't have anything to discuss, when they come. Or the will have something silly. Now you have something.
You are perfectly correct. People are so much vulnerable to the nature. Or more when they are traveling alone. We all pray god to be with us when we are all alone.
