people (and by people, i mean those who give unsolicited advice) are always saying things like, "It's the journey, not the destination." -------
i think there's partial truth to that, but realistically i don't think many people get in the car just to drive without ever contemplating the ending point. i love to drive, and i don't even do that. . . except once in a while. once in a great while there is something soothing about rolling down the windows and listening to some silly song on a back country road somewhere. (only once in a while though, because if i spend too much time thinking about it i realize how much gas i'm burning and how irresponsible it really is just to DRIVE....) ------------- i digress.
i'm thinking a lot about journeys, lately, mostly because i'm about to leave soon on a road trip to visit my sister and some dear friends. i'm so ready to go.
i remember doing a Proust questionaire a while ago that was in the back of a Vanity Fair magazine and it asked the question, "What is your favorite journey?" ------- and my answer was the one that takes me home. i still feel that way, but i now i embrace the leaving as much as the coming home. seeing new things. getting a new perspective. maybe it IS the journey.
