"The journey is the destination"


Poem Artwork

Road

Having rather been a has-been than a never-was
I am grateful to have once believed in Santa Claus

And I look back now with no regrets at all because
It all went down according to how it had to be
For the pieces of the puzzle to become this me
You see today the only me which ever could have been
Because of what I do and did what I see and have seen

For better or worse this is life and I am used to it
The pieces of the puzzle come together and they fit
Just as they are and having come as far as I have now
All I can do is move along and muddle through somehow
So I will see where I will be when this road ends somewhere

We never know until we go and get from here to there
Where we will finally end up but until we arrive

The journey is the destination: on the road ...alive

And the journey never ends, Stevie; at least, not here. Love and peace,

This is a truly realistic yet subtly profound reflection on life
as is, has been, and will be...for us...until we do indeed reach
the ultimate destination destined for us. Inbetween, so true it
is that "The journey is the destination:on the road..alive." In
its simplicity of presentation, it is at the same time, a stirring
reminder of how we all basicly struggle, cope, and survive...life's
most uncertain and yet perpetually challenging journey. This is
a keeper worthy of framing. Thanks for sharing this gem Stevie;
you do us proud with your wisdom and yet gracious candor.

"The journey is the destination" how can anyone sum up life better then that, brilliant my friend.

So right. I love the journey I'm on. Excitement rounds every corner. It is so sad so many take the path of their own (or worse others) destruction.

So true - Life is full of surprises - Don't quit, even when it gets lonely, each new day is different and has promises.

Life is a long trip down a country road in an unknown land.
I like your outlook,
God Bless,
