the journey itself is home

“The moon and sun are eternal travellers.

Even the years wander on.

A lifetime adrift in a boat,

or in old age leading a tired horse into the years,

every day is a journey,

and the journey itself is home.”

Matsuo Basho

For me? More blogging inspiration, in the here and now.

    A few years ago I went on a meditation retreat.
    A poem came to me which is a bit like what your poem is saying:

    Sitting in the sun one day
    and looking in a particular way
    I saw the silver tracks of unseen snails
    Going nowhere.
