When you travel, do you have a plan to follow? Perhaps you prefer to drift from place to place, but that in itself is a plan in its own way. Does your journey usually have a destination, either geographically, intellectually, socially, economically, culturally or spiritually?
How much information do you need before you usually put a good travel plan together? How much time does it take to put the plan together, do all the required research and make the necessary arrangements? Is planning just as enjoyable at travelling?
Perhaps you find planning and travelling both to be stressful for much of the time. Continual Journeys is part of how I can help your travels to be much more relaxing, inspiring and rewarding.

On Retreat
I have written about retreats in several of my previous blog posts here and elsewhere, as well as on a page especially devoted to the topic. At present, I am usually able to spend a few hours "on retreat" on a daily basis.
Planning and reflecting can help to bring about personal and communal peace, as can experiencing the inner world and workings of the mind, exploring memories and experiences of life, and an intensity of quiet and focused living, gathering thoughts, organising words in written form, looking at works of art and old photographs, and giving full attention to the ordinary tasks of daily routines and to various expressions of creativity. Balancing this with times of inner silence, complete rest, and possibly outer silence too, away from the chatter and clutter and intrusions of "normal" existence, are the essentials of my own preferred retreat.
Do you have similar desires, achievements, needs and values to my own?

Continual Journeys is about the connections between times, places, minds and lives. It is about many different types of journeys, experiences, reflections and discoveries.
For anyone new to Continual Journeys, perhaps the best place to start is at the beginning. This travel blog began in January 2009.
How do your own journeys connect you more deeply to the past, present and future?

Staying Home
Although I have often enjoyed travelling, I also like to stay home.
Perhaps experiencing a journey can help us to have a deeper appreciation of its starting point.
Do you ever reflect upon where, how and why your journeys begin?

A Better Way of Life
What does it mean to have a better way of life?
Does it mean solving little problems one step at a time?
Does it mean taking a giant leap into the unknown, regardless of the consequences?
Does it mean following a dream, even without a thoroughly worked out plan?
Does it mean using our minds better, solving mysteries, developing our curiosity and having a deeper appreciation of whatever is pleasant?

The Beauty of Nature
Beauty frequently attracts attention, whether in the natural world or in a social or cultural context.
Are you ever inspired to travel in search of beauty?
We frequently view beauty as a sign of health, of youth, and of happiness. I prefer to experience peaceful, beautiful places, rather than owning many beautiful things. Perhaps you do, too.
How do you relate to the most beautiful aspects of the natural world?
