Any novels with the theme/concept: journeys?
If you're looking for teens carrying the plot, try Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole by Micco Mann. A fun read about a 17 year old girl lost in the Everglades and her adventures when she meets up with a 17 year old Seminole boy raised deep in the Everglades to be the first of the New Seminole who will lead an eco war on the "Outside." It's a journey of discovery and self-discovery for both. Nokosee has never seen anyone from the Outside up close and personal and what transpires is a clash of cultures and one of the truest and funniest first time sex scenes I've read in some time. Romantic realism at its best. http://bit.ly/NokoseeKobo http://bit.ly/Nokosee
Physical journeys.?
Physical journeys involve different types of obstacles and movement to new places. They provide opportunities for travellers to extend themselves physically, intellectually and emotionally as they respond to challenges and learn more about themselves and the world around them. A physical journey consists of the movement from one place to another, whereby the individual undergoes a process of change and development, becomes endowed with experiences, goals are achieved culminating in an overall transformation. Journeys often contain elements such as a lack of choice, uncertainty, danger, and obstacles. Such journeys are explored in Peter Skrzynecki's poems Immigrants at Central station and 'Crossing the Red Sea', Alan Moir's political cartoon MV Cormo Express (SMH 28/10/03), about the stranded sheep in the middle of the ocean, and also the bookcover for Victor Kelleher's Ivory Trail.
Where can I go for a spiritual journey?
A spiritual journey can happen anywhere, anytime - it requires a conscious surrender to Spirit. However certain physical locations are often helpful in triggering a powerful response.Different locations hold different energy, and will move you differently. Spending three days in the dark in a cave will affect you differently than climbing to a mountain peak, which will affect you differently than being at an ocean, which will affect you differently than being at a cathedral or the pyramids. Generally speaking, however, any place that will help you to expand your sense of self both further into the cosmos and deeper into Life is the best place to be.Spiritual experiences often happen spontaneously. Sometimes we find ourselves in a place that leaves us awestruck - forgetting ourselves, we’re so blown away by something that we begin to meld into its fabric. Or, even better yet, something from beyond the boundaries of our own consciousness begins to enter and fill us. It’s hard to predetermine when such things will happen, though. Sometimes if we go somewhere with an expectation of having a spiritual experience, our anxiety over the matter can very well prevent it from happening.I’m rambling somewhat here, I realize, and not really directly answering your question. Perhaps only you can answer that for yourself by asking yourself what it is you are looking for. Yet, all of this rambling does lead up to some kind of a point: Visiting places is wonderful - I wholeheartedly recommend it - but making Life itself the spiritual journey can only greatly enhance the moments that we find ourselves held in awe of both our human (cultural) and natural wonders.Good traveling, both within and without.
What is the "Journey to the West" about?
The epic fantasy novel "Journey to the West" was written by Wu Cheng'en during Ming Dynasty in the 16th century. The novel is loosely based on the actual journey of Tang Dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who took 17 years to travel to India on foot in order to trace the origins of Chinese Buddhism and correct and complete missing scriptures in Chinese Buddhism. The novel follows the journey of Tang Seng (Tang monk) as he was instructed by Buddha to embark on a journey to "Western Regions" to obtain sacred texts. The journey will be long and difficult, filled with perils, fantastical lands, demons, spirits, diverse countries, and gods and spirits alike. In total 81 perils were placed before Tang Seng on his journey as a test of his spirit and unwavering faith in his mission. However, Tang Seng was just one unarmed monk, hence Buddha used this opportunity to give three powerful beings who had sinned and committed wrongs a second chance, to have Sun Wukong (Monkey King that wrecked havoc in the Heavenly Kingdom), Zhu Bajie (banished Commander of the Heavenly Army for lust) and Sha Wujing (Banished general from the Heavenly Kingdom) accompany and protect Tang Seng on his journey. As the three guardians each appeared they became disciples of Tang Seng, who would teach them of patience, righteousness, the unnecessary need to resort to violence, and to guide them to become better people, to realise their past mistakes and walk on the right path. The journey would be difficult, though the three disciples/guardians were powerful warriors, they had issues with each other, as well as with Tang Seng, that gradually disappeared as the master and pupils formed inseparable bonds through adversity. Won't spoil the end for you, but "Journey to the West" is considered to be one of the Four Great Novels of Chinese literature, a masterpiece of story-telling, combination of action and emotion, of underlying social and political connotations to real world problems and people, that managed to merge reality with fantasy and folklore into one of the most epic fantasy novels of gigantic proportions. If you still don't get the scope of things, imagine it to be The Lord of the Rings written 500 years earlier, and WAY better.

Is happiness journey or destination?
image; imgur. comHappiness is nether journey nor a destination.All journeys break or come to end at some point of time so by that logic happiness will also come to an end if it were a journey.To be in journey one must undertake another journey ,so by that reasoning to attain happiness one will have to make efforts (taking journey entails effort) to attain happiness.Happiness is not destination either. As after reaching destination one rests and relaxes and enjoys the satisfaction and joy of having reached destination. Happiness is not destination either because how can one be happy only after attaining a goal state( read destination).Happiness is thus not an end itself.Then you may ask what, then is Happiness?Well then as wise say and have experienced HAPPINESS IS A STATE (OF MIND).Happiness is a state of mind which remains constant. This state is not disturbed if something happens contrary to expectations and this state is not overjoyed when everything happens as per expectations.State of happiness is derived from within the human psyche with nothing derived from outside.Journey and Destination are highly related to everything outside of human psyche.State of happiness is characterized by SAM BHAV ( Evenness in all circumstances).Gautama Buddha was eternally happy. He depended on others only for food and met his food needs by begging. For all of his other needs ,he was self-sufficient and supremely happy person.Whereas most of us depend on ourselves for food whereas for all other needs we are begging from others.For Gautama Buddha Happiness was a state of being and for us mere mortals unhappiness is state of being.MM
