The Author, yesterday
Then,
suddenly, out of the blue, someone suggested I take a year or two out and go
travelling. I thought, hey, why not? A few phone calls later, and I was on my
way. It was great seeing all of those places again, like Australia, Norway,
Argentina and Iceland. What an afternoon I had that day! It was only as I sat
back in my own home that I realised that, being omnipotent, this was the perfect
pursuit for me. For all that time, the answer had been looking me directly in
the face - I had always been a traveller. I suppose that I had just never realised
it before.
Some popular destinations
Of course, being omnipotent has it's advantages: there's nothing better, when you're stuck in some queue at an airport, than realising that you're already on the plane, at your chosen hotel, at your destination and down the boozer with the boys, simultanaeously. It's what some people call "the best of both worlds", really. And, should I begin to feel that my excursions have been a little bit solitary, there's always the comforting thought that, right at that moment, I am also in bed with thousands of beautiful people all over the world.
Of all the places I have been, I would have to say that I particularly like Israel. I've always gotten a great welcome there, and I particularly like the churches and so forth. It saddens me to see all of the fighting going on there; I bet whoever is responsible for that feels a bit ashamed of themselves, and so they should.
All
in all, I must say I love travelling. Aeroplanes have made the world so much
smaller, and I'm sure we're all grateful for that. I love looking out the window
and seeing something great, like one of the Pyramids, or something. Once, I
was stood next to Barbara Streisand at Niagara Falls. I couldn't believe it!
She just turned around and said, "It's good here, isn't it ?" And I looked,
and I saw that it was good. And I was pleased.
