The truth is, of course, is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.

Dear Compass
Regarding intermittent arrivals and departures as opposed to a “journey,” I prefer to think of Journey with a capital ‘J’ which involves a host of choices and adaptations – almost all of which are departures and arrivals. It strikes me that a compatible term to ‘journey’ is ‘expedition.’ A unique journey of exploration and discovery taken with others. Compass always provides thought-provoking inspiration. Thanks.
My concept of coming and going is dependent on who and what I am at the moment. I find myself comparing who I was at an earlier time in my life and sometimes wondering if it really was “me” who did some of those things, whether beneficial or detrimental. It accounts for where I am going, in many ways, since I try not to repeat the odious activities. On the other hand, even though I relish some of the past, I understand that now, having been there, I cannot go there again but I am inspired by what I can dream of for the future Life will always be a journey for me.
