The Journey

Life is a succession of greater or lesser excellent adventures--grab your pith helmet!

If you go with the flow, you'll probably arrive sooner; but you may not like where you've gotten to.

By choice or happenstance, we're traveling widely divergent paths; if both reach our common destination, it doesn't much matter how we get there or who arrives first.

A circular path will only get one back to where one started from.

The journey is long, the transit brief; perhaps you should accelerate?
