flight of the bumblebee.

Posted on by

i’m the praying mantis  by the window

next to the fuzzy bumblebee in the aisle seat

each headed out on our own journeys

sharing a common space for a time

 love talking to strangers

their story never fails to be interesting 

when i wake up tomorrow

i’ll be in portugal

maybe i’ll cross paths with the flying bee again

perhaps not

everything is possible

let the adventure begin.

  1. I once took a long flight from London to Beijing on my own. The people either side of me were also travelling alone, and neither said a word during the whole trip. I might have started a conversation, but they both had headphones on. Very ‘British’.
    Best wishes, Pete.
