Cherish the journey one has been set upon, the destination truly unknown. When something seems vastly important or overwhelming, know this, you will handle everything life throws at you in one way or another. Uncertainty is the basis of the balckest dispair as well as the basis for eternal hope.

How can such a simple mind as mine resolve (promise) to do anything but take the next step in my journey, confident that it will be different from the last one, judging it (imperfectly), and if it was a bad step, change direction, if it was a good step, try another in the same direction learning as I go along.

As my journey continues, it appears that the important bits are those where my path joins with that of another, each path altered, forever, by the time spent walking together. Life itself becomes less important than the journey taken during that life, for the journey of one life is finite, with a beginning and an end, but all of the other lives who's journey's were altered by joining, crossing, or parralleling yours, continue infinately in every direction.

dws, you are right, I should resolve, and I do.

Enjoy the journey, each moment treasured as though it will be the last, for it is the last time you will experience that moment without the filters of memory.
