A timely reminder, living in this fast paced world, it is the journey, not the destination, that fills our lives, if we take notice. Thanks, again, Susan. Another tip for living FULLY!
This reminded me of our trip to Paris with the boys so many years ago- we had an apartment in Montmartre with a wonderful terrace and Sacre Coeur as out nightlight. For most of the week we were there we used the Metro and thus experienced Paris as a city of nodes much like your first week in London; on almost our last day I said let’s ride the buses today and we spent the day going all over central Paris on buses- and what a difference in how we saw the city; knitted together into a whole skein rather than knots on a string. Lovely essay- glad you are getting back together with the blue car soon. Want to hear from the blue car- how was their journey? Exciting? Lonely? Scary?
What a lovely way to describe your experience - knots on a string vs. the entire skein! Well...I I have not reunited with the Blue Car yet and I am sure I will have an earful about it's experience on the high seas. I can't wait.
Beautiful essay. So much meaning is found in the journey but you have to be open to taking in what a journey shows you and there is no doubt you do! Adore your ability to stay present and your introspection. Hoping you and Blue Car rendezvous soon. 💗💗💗
Me too Rachel! I could sure use a walk and talk around the reservoir right now. so may variables at the moment but hopefully things will start settling into place tomorrow. we shall see!

Merci Nancy! I am the Queen of fast-paced and trying oh so hard to slow it all down. all the time. LOL.

Much to think about from this essay. Reminds me that the journey is as important as the destination….
and I can't wait to hear about your journey this past weekend. I hope it is all wonderful and the travel is easy.
