The difference between a journey and a pilgrimage is this: on a journey, reaching the goal means success; a pilgrimage is successful only when each step becomes the goal.
~ Brother David Steindl-Rast
James's comment: This reminds me of Thich Nhat Hanh's mantra that "peace is every footstep. A great reminder that the present moment is our destination not just another step into the future that is still an illusion.
-Peace to all beings-
