RE: Longing for the long journey… to Ithaka …

in #life7 years ago

Beautiful poem which fully explores and illustrates the value of the journey over the destination.

Hope that your journey is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors you're seeing for the first time;

You never know what pleasures you'll find on the journey, but making it a long one gives you more chances at joy before reaching your destination.

Or as another quote will tell us:

Take time to stop and smell the flowers

Living in the moment can bring untold riches.

Sort:  

You are absolutely right. Sometimes we focus too much on goals and lose the enjoyment and the thrill of reaching to a certain destination.
