Beautiful post @Velmthrift!

I totally align with the image of paradise not being far away... I always feel that those people who seek it in remote places are the ones who are yet to have just spent some time alone listening to their own thoughts and working out what their inner most desires are... Sometimes, even after changing your environment around you completely and even after a whole new experience, those same people, when left alone will still be unsatisfied with where they are because they seriously havent given themself a chance to breathe and get to know themselves... Look inward before you look outward, I say.
