Life is a journey

The other day, because I could not remember the ending of the above quotation,I googled 'Life is a journey quotes'. Amazingly, that query returned 2,459,000 results in 0.12 seconds. Impossible you say! Then just try it for yourself.

Can you imagine having to browse through that lot to find the single one that fits the bill. Other expressions that immediately leapt to mind were: Too much information. Life is too short. How did Google do that. The information age.

But I digress. In any event I decided that it would be less troublesome to complete the quote in my own words, or perhaps those with which my memory is prompting me. Perhaps my name belongs up there with those who have already chosen to use their creative powers of thought and vocabulary to solve this particular meaning of life conundrum. You know names such as Socrates, Plato, Lao Tzu, Aristotle, Confucius, Gandhi, Galileo, Albert Einstein, Churchill etc. etc. No, perhaps my name does not belong in this group.

But there I go digressing again.

Assuredly, life is a journey to be enjoyed along the way, and we should cherish each special moment because it is unlikely ever to recur.

Perhaps one of the reasons that I enjoyed photography so greatly, is that this form visual art has the ability to freeze some of these special moments in time... enabling a return to them in memory, if not in fact.


All aboard?
