From the travelers hand

As a man walks forever in the desert the sun lights his way at the cost of the heat. He's a loner however he is not without a lifetime of experience with others as he has traveled all the world. In quiet reflection he remembers the diversity in the life styles among them all. When you consider the human factor among them all there is hardly any difference and that makes the elemental experiences even that more precious. He has very little but he considers himself a wealthy man from the connections he has made. His soul welcomes the stars and cool night air as he sifts through the memories. He had family once but they're all gone now. He has seen and experienced many magical things in his 50+ years he's been traveling and it has enriched his heart and soul. He came to this particular desert at this specific time for his days are up. He has passed all he has known and experienced to many others and he hopes they won't be alarmed when he comes up missing. He finds his favorite cliff and rock that has been his mitatation far to many times but it brings him comfort. He lays down for a rest knowing the trip he takes now will be his last and take him to beyond the stars. He gives one more Thank you to life and drifts off into his eternal sleep. Weeks away one of his friends and fellow travelers went looking for him knowing that this place was his favorite. When he came upon him he knew from the clothing that it was the guy people would miss rather quickly. He sent out the news and 1000'ds of people near and far came to pay respect to a man that changed so many lives with his stories and his kindness and love. The travelers world was changed forever from his absence and folklore  stories about him now would spread like wildfire and that actually was never his goal. He just wanted to live and connect with everyone he came across and he did just that. It may be a while but hopefully someone to become a newer version of him will come along however he can never be replaced.
