Many times I have heard life described as a 'journey'.
Where this 'journey' is taking us is unclear but many would argue that it is a journey towards spiritual enlightenment or towards God himself.
This may be true.
However, I don't think that we (the human race) will ever reach the planned destination.
Life, I have discovered, resembles one of those Joint-the-dots pictures.
When you start, there is nothing but a page covered in dots and the further you draw your line from dot to dot, the more of a picture appears.
But is it really so simple?
I think not!
Life changes.
Every time you look away to sharpen your pencil, a shaggy dog covered in ink will shake himself over your 'page' and hey-presto! More dots!
Life is such a complicated thing ... really it is.
Not a shaggy dog story at all.
So many dots...and you never know if you are connecting them in the correct order.
ReplyDeleteWell put. We look for patterns but rarely take into account the scope.
