Goldfinch60



A young man was walking the path of life,

His teacher was walking by his side.

The young man spoke to his teacher

And asked the question:

“Which is more important in life,

Is it the journey or the destination?”

The teacher looked at the young man

And said to him:

“In life both are important,

But even more important is the company,

The company that you travel with

On your journey of life.”

    What do we do about the people we leave behind or decide to leave us?

    • Goldfinch60

      They are the ones that have given you some of life's experiences and are therefore important in your life.

      Did we ask, us two, about the journey and destination, when we took the No.7 bus to Mars?! Or was it to Saturn? lol.

      • Goldfinch60

        We knew about our journey, pity the No. 7 bus did not know the way! LOL

          So...... it went to the Moon, and that's how we greeted the first Earthlings? We were there way before 1969.

            Dear Andy,

            As we journey toward our destination hopefully we’ll grow, learn, and understand who we are.

            Laura🌻

            • Goldfinch60

              We certainly do Laura and may that continue all our lives.

                Such an important message of wisdom, I tell my own Son this, the truth is, they must learn for themselves. I certainly did.x beautiful.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Yes they must learn for themselves, as I am always saying - you cannot teach experience.
