WHERE LIFE IS FOUND

It is said, “Life is not found 

in reaching one’s destination, 

but in the journey itself.” 

Yet life is not found in our journey, 

but in the experiences 

that make up our journey. 

Yet life is not found 

in the experiences 

that make up our journey, 

but in meaning we give 

to the experiences 

that make up our journey.

Yet life is not found 

in the meaning we give 

to the experiences

that make up our journey,

but in the values that determine 

the meaning we give 

to the experiences

that make up our journey.

 

Yet life is not found

in the values that determine 

the meaning we give 

to the experiences 

that make up our journey,

but in that of our journey already taken

and in our dreams of that which is still to be,

which inform the values that determine 

the meaning we give 

to the experiences 

that make up our journey.

In other words,

to enter into the journey

is to have already arrived 

at one’s destination.

So let us enter in, 

and let us do so 

deeply.
