personal
This is me:
Leunig
I always take the long road. I never really arrive anywhere. I'm tired of all the walking.
Maybe that is life. Just being tired.
Life is the journey, not the destination.
Posted by: Cameron on December 9, 2004 09:30 PMCameron is right. I am the same though, always tired from taking the long road. Though we are lucky to have our lives written this way. Sometimes you have to write in your own excerts of prose: stop and hear the silence, see the stillness, gather strength from this and then plod on. You will have had a magnificant life by the end of your road.

okay.I accept the insight. But that means always being tired and understress with little time to rest, smell the roses, or hear the silences.
You know what happens. Each time you reach the top of the hill you find another one that you have to climb.
Posted by: Gary Sauer-Thompson on December 11, 2004 12:13 AMI empathise Gary, believe me, I really do! I try to remind myself when I reach the top of the hill (before heading off to climb the next one) to stop for a little while, take a deep breath of the crisp, clean air up there and appreciate the view...
Nursing for over 20 years can often make one philosophical about the human condition. I still tend to think perhaps that life, however one finds it, is (as far as I know) better than the alternative. I hope you feel less tired soon. More power to you on your journey.
