Bus Trip

[ibn_al_xuff]

It took three days for him to reach New York by bus. He could have flown, but he wanted to be grounded. He wanted a chance to see how the other half lived so to speak. Walking amoung the crowds of the largest city in the world opened his eyes. These people were so far from the green that it was no wonder that they cared little for the planet. It was hard to care about places thousands of miles away when you are starving or have lost hope.

This was something he forgot when he passed the Gateless Gates. It was something his father understood.

But how to change things? Lost in thought, he continued his journey.
