If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
Every moment is, in some ways, eternal. Once you put something into the world, it stays there.
We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.
The destination is a happy life, an accomplished life that doesn't end with death but with eternal life.
Keeping our eyes on journey's end is what we need - the place where we see at last the world that is greater than the world, the new creation that cannot be contained in present thought or social order or piety.
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
I believe that before anybody makes the journey to the other side, we have to know on a soul level that we are leaving, whether it's an accident or illness, and we prepare ourselves to a certain degree that we won't be there in the future.
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
