Journeys

Today's Quote from a Fancy Word for Simple:

"Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there."

-Will Rogers

This puts me in mind of Dory, from Finding Nemo: "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming." I often hum this to myself when I feel I am just too damned tired to put one foot in front of another! I rarely "just sit there." In fact, that concept is really hard for me to delve into. Even so, I can see times where I've felt justified in taking an extensive break, just because I'm on the right path. It seems like something a Chinese philosopher would have said about roads not being the same thing as journeys. Long live the journey!
