Nomad [noh-mad]
-noun
1. a member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place
2. any wanderer; itinerant.
Driving down the highway yesterday, I saw a biker gang roar past me. I've always been in awe of these guys, these men who wander upon the open road, riding their bikes to wherever life leads them. They are free--free from the cares and worries that lie behind. They just ride, and live.
I've felt like a wanderer as well lately, but it has seemed the furthest thing from freedom. I don't know where I'm going or where life is taking me, and no matter how far I wander, I never seem to be able to escape my past. I don't feel like I have any place to call home, any place to rest my head in peace. I'm a nomad, wandering about in search of freedom.
This gang was made up of combat vets. I can't imagine how hard their pasts must have been. I wonder if they've yet found the freedom their looking for.

Oh and by the way, I took this while going 70mph down the highway. :P
