Enjoying a Journey Without End

Logic would tell us that if we knew that a road didn’t lead to a destination, we wouldn’t travel on it – or if a book or movie didn’t draw to any conclusions we wouldn’t read or watch it. But that’s logic.

The heart, and none other than Sir Winston Churchill, looks at this very differently:

“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”

This recalls what I said about my blog in the commemoration of my 400th post:

“I’d prefer not to know where this is going. Unlike today’s stock market, where the uncertainty is palpable and unwelcomed, the uncertainty I have about Ramblings From a Glass Half Full is actually quite exhilarating.”

Yes indeed, the “joy and glory of the climb” -or, as characterized in my post the other day, “strolling (not stumbling) towards nirvana“.

Sometimes you just have to take logic out of the equation. Hard to do, but the benefits are many.
