I wish I could show you how I feel
But I can't so i'll walk beside you
I'm not happy, i'm content
I travel in the pathless woods
Where it leads? I do not know
And does not matter
For i'm not intent on arriving
I live for the present moment
Stop! Look around! Smell the roses!

I wrote this inspired by Lao Tzu
"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."

"Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray." -- Lord Byron

Hey, Lincoln, I just noticed on the side-bar that you live on "Earth" ~ So do I! ~ Well, at least most of the time! lol

Live in the moment and go with the flow! Nice and easy does it! Zen is in!

Good to read you again!

The idea is there.  This is coming right along.

The journey is the main pleasure ...
