  2. Pack up the car

    Daily writing prompt What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel? View all responses

    None really. I’m not much of a traveler so no book or movie has inspired me to travel. In fact, the first movie I thought of this morning inspired me not to travel and that’s The Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy wakes up in her bed and tells us if she ever goes looking for her heart’s desire again she won’t look any further than her own back yard because if it’s not there, it was never lost to begin with, it made sense to me. Stay home, stay safe. Kind of a sheltered existence, but it works. About the best a book has ever done for me is inspire me to want to travel. Travels With Charley, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. On the Road. I suppose The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the Hobbit books might have to be somewhere on that list too. Maybe, in a way, metaphorically?, the Book of Exodus? If I think about it more I’m guessing more titles will come to mind so I’ll stop thinking about it now.

  5. Tonight my spouse and I are rewatching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

    The ents remain my favourite race in that universe. I’d watch a film or read a book only about them if such a thing existed.

    The thought of intelligent trees who can walk and talk fascinates me and is a wonderful distraction.
