One Day Soon

"The migration begins
and
one day soon
she arrives at her destination."
- Jason. F. McLennan (Zugunruhe)
When I saw this staircase yesterday, so beautifully lit by late afternoon sun, my breath was taken away - so much so that I had to return to take a photo to share. To me this staircase is a perfect metaphor for envisioning your future and taking that first step. My favorite aspect about this staircase is that it emphasizes something I began saying years ago: "Enjoy the process." The overflowing, radiant and wildly colorful flowers so simply and clearly define what enjoying the process is all about. Gather beauty and love around you as you begin your envisioned signature climbs... and one day soon you will indeed arrive at your destination.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend as you define your destinations, and then "enjoy the process" to one day soon.

Karen,
What a beautiful place of enjoying the process. I find myself counting the hours to get to the other side of time, instead of looking at the joy along the way. Thank you for helping me remember to send kindness and look for joy along the way--even in times of stress.
Blessings to you! Have a great weekend. xo Pam

I read this often as I enjoy a process enroute to a destination...
"We can choose to create of our lives an accident or an adventure" ~anonymous
I love the thought of you enroute to a destination only to return to capture a moment of your life by "accident or adventure"? I think I like the process of imagining how YOU enjoyed discovering this one metaphorical moment for all to reflect upon. Brilliance!
I keep learning the direction is up and the process varies, but now I have this visual in my" mind's eye" and YOU to thank for it, love it!
Karen,
Thank you for your kind words. I hope your weekend has been filled with peace and beauty.
xo Pam
*kiki - yes, indeed, you "got it" and more so, "one day soon" belongs to you...thank you for visiting and for your posting, and for such a great quote! I am so glad you enjoyed and captured a "visual"! -xok.
