The Itch You Cannot Scratch

I had an itch that I thought this trip would scratch. Instead, it just spread the disease. From my head to my heart and down to every limb, finger and toe. It is now terminal . The prognosis is positive but I cannot be cured. It has seeped into my blood and clings to my bones. It has been sewn into my spirit and sprinkled onto my soul. While I may not die from it, I will certainly die with it. Unlike most afflictions, I hope this one's contagious. I want to transmit this inquisitive infection and induce discovery. I wish to impart my fever.

This voyage has not satiated my hunger but rather increased my appetite. Though it wet my palette, it has not quenched my thirst. I fear I may be addicted and that I will continue to crave this classification as a traveler, a wayfarer, an adventurer. I yearn to forever feast on this newness and knowledge. Won't  you join me in these appetizers of awareness and entrĂ©es of enlightenment? Can we dine together and itch with the eagerness for insight and exploration?
