Mother Journey Waiting

More From Jhumpa Lahiri

For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again for always to nowhere, now not to be borne once again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.

I always try to remember that i am a work in progress. it is life's journey that matters and the turns i take will determine how much progress i make. you see, i am unique in my gifts and the purpose i was created for. when i get to heaven at the end of my journey, i will not be asked what gifts he gave me, but what i did with them. each one of us is a work in progress, with a mission and purpose to fulfill that is uniquely ours. keep that in mind as you journey, won't you?

Real spiritual journey in life is the discovery of self. i think once you take all the religious bullshit away from jesus christ, it's saying it's about this journey of discovering who you are, and what's really important in life is simply love. that the journey of civilization, the journey of understanding, is forgiveness, is empathy. and that's what humanity is striving for.

Make philosophy thy journey, theology thy journey's end: philosophy is a pleasant way, but dangerous to him that either tires or retires; in this journey it is safe neither to loiter nor to rest, till thou hast attained thy journey's end; he that sits down a philosopher rises up an atheist.
