i believe it’s true that we can’t know where we’re going unless we know where we’ve come from, but who of us really knows where we are actually going?

Nice to not know where we are going. Life is full of surprises. That makes it worth going on 🙂

I do. Most of us are going where we came from… (which isn’t really going anywhere whatsoever).

I LOVED this photo. Last autumn, we got to take a once-in-a-lifetime train trip, in serious luxury, covering the entire west coast. Only 3 days but the sun setting (and rising) on the tracks was so beautiful. Your picture had me right back in that fancy compartment, rocking so gently and watching the stunning, too rapidly passing video out our window! Thanks

Rather evocative, I think. There is an entire conversation captured in your few words. 👍☺

We could have an entire conversation about it, I’m sure.

Excerpt from T.S.Eliot:
Fare forward, travellers! not escaping from the past
Into different lives, or into any future;
You are not the same people who left that station
Or who will arrive at any terminus,
While the narrowing rails slide together behind you;
Watching the furrow that widens behind you,
You shall not think “the past is finished”
Or “the future is before us”.

A splendid reminder of the wonder of the moment and the journey. Thank you for posting the T.S. Eliot.
And, as always, thank you for sharing your enchanting, heart-filled words, Sylvia.

I love this scripture. It is the essence of my whole blog and helps answer the question “How did I get here?” I think you might enjoy these links.
