Every Journey Counts

Everyone has a journey. You, me, the person sitting next to you. We all are coming from some place, and going to some place. Sometimes our journeys are geographic. Sometimes they are intellectual. Sometimes they are emotional. Sometimes they are spiritual.

Always, our journeys have to do with growth, the gaining of awareness, the having of experiences, and the learning of lessons. But each one of us is unique. So we can be sure that our journeys will be unique as well.

Maybe we would do well to learn about the journeys of those around us. How they have grown, what awareness they have, what they have experienced, what lessons they’ve learned. If we do that, two things may happen. We’ll begin to see the stuff we all share AND we’ll begin to see what we’ve been missing and what we uniquely have to share.

In the meantime we might just build a community of diverse people who at the very least value one another. Wouldn’t that be a thing.
