I travel
Because
Standing still
Is death

Interesting perspective. I was enjoying some extraordinary gardens one day and sat down on a bench to rest. I looked down and among all the showy bushes was a small rare beauty. As the people quickly past it by, unnoticed, in their rush to get to the end, I realized how fortunate I was to discover the rare one. : ). I hope you have an extraordinary day.

  The poem is a near-plagiaristic riff on one of my favourite quotes.
  
  Our nature lies in movement;
  Complete calm is death.
  ~ Blaise Pascal
