It is still very hard, but I am learning that the goal is the journey itself.
The destination is really an illusion…
there to tempt us into believing that
we can brave through the journey
because the destination would be worth it,
when in fact it was never the
allure of the destination that carried us
through the hard parts of the journey,
but our own will and strength that do it.
The journey is difficult because of the sheer number of moments –
the sheer number of “micro-destinations” –
that beg our presence and full attention.
