It's good to
have an end to journey toward;
but it's the journey that
matters in the end.
~ Ernest Hemingway*
Dear Master Travel Agent ~
As You know, I've come a good distance on
this journey and sometimes I don't know how I've gotten this far let alone
figured out where I'm headed. I do know that I'm ultimately headed in
Your direction and, that it is how I get there matters, it's
just that there have been so many twists and turns and amazing ups and significant
downs along the road so far I often feel directionally challenged. Am I
headed down or up the right road? Will effort, spelling, and punctuation count
toward my final grade (please, though, not neatness)?
In the meantime, I'm
just here to ask for the usual traveler stuff ~ please continue as my Guide and
Companion along the Way and help me to recognize You wherever I go in those I
know and those I meet along the way. While Google Maps won't help, I look
forward to little hints from You here and there that I'm on the right
track. Thanks for letting me get this far and, if it's not too much of a
bother, I'd like to go on for quite a while yet, whatever the bumps and
bites and storms but especially the love and glee and joy that are yet to
come. amen.
*Ernest Hemingway, [1899-1961] American
journalist and author, was the 5th American winner of the Nobel Prize
for Literature in 1954, for his mastery of the art of the narrative
[particularly] in The Old Man and the Sea. His books and stories are
considered classics in American literature. Multiple marriages and a
colorful life led Hemingway down many roads in his fairly short but completely
filled journey that ended by suicide in 1961, yet left a legacy of writing that
will never die.
