Journey? Destination? Or Something Else?

May: On LoveMay 12Today's reflection was inspired by John Keats' poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn."What if it’s neither the journey nor the destination? In Big Panda and Tiny Dragon by James Norbury, Big Panda asks, “Which is more important, the journey or the destination?” To which Tiny Dragon replies, “The company.” So you have to ask—would Keats’ Bold Lover be satisfied living frozen in time just nearing the kiss if it weren’t with someone they loved? Someone they couldn’t stand the thought of not kissing? And what would your journey through life toward death be like without those you love along for the ride? You might travel to beautiful places, savor delicacies, or hear the sweetest melodies—which is all well and good—but wouldn’t it be better if those you love were right there with you?Reflection title: Journey? Destination? Or Something Else?Creative inspiration: John Keats, "Ode on a Grecian Urn"Reflection Question: Have I been too fixated on the destination? Or a destination and not enough on the ones I love who are with me?
