To see the world

Complacent in the inertia
Of your life
You take a step outside
Spend a day
In a completely alien environment
See life at a right angle to yours
Contemplate
Ruminate
Have epiphanies
The ripples of which
Last your lifetime

And even years later
When you look back
The day shines like a gem
In a string of mundane
Nondescript days
Still sloughing off
Meaning after meaning

And you realize
What it means
To step outside
Of your comfort zone

And start doing it more

Until
You spend
So many years
On the road
That that becomes your life
And you have nothing
To go back
No complacence
No such thing
As the regular
The average or the base

What is the balance?
