People using airports are usually boarding or leaving planes. These people are voyagers.

The experienced voyager knows that the person they left as will not be the same person that returns. They will shed the baggage of their old self to be ready for the dangers, cultures, and fortunate that awaits them.

When the voyager returns home they are forever changed. The experiences and trials they endured reshaped how they see the world. They embrace the loved ones they left behind. It's a deep embrace - "I thought I would never see you again.

If you want to be a skilled voyager, you must learn to accept the death of the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future.

Even if you encounter rough air this week, I hope you'll welcome the turbulence with open arms. I'll see you in the terminal.
