Music is a spice of life! I plan to post a musical selection each day of the year, based on reflection on events of my days.

Day 3 - 245 -- Destinations
Destinations are about getting there more than simply being there. Life seems not made to be smooth. The bumps teach us much -- problem solving, self-awareness, resilience. That makes it sound peaceful -- but getting there will involve much angst and a host of other less peaceful feelings. Look for the signs -- not the destinations -- Tel Aviv, Rome, Dakar or Nice -- but the signs of people making that journey. See those with mind and heart open to making the journey living in the moment in a mindful manner. People watching can be enlightening.We can make up stories about those we see, yet can also see a myriad of human experience. This is difficult for an introverted empath, but taking the time can bring rewards.
A silly song was in my mind today. A friend talked with me about it from a recent trip she and a group of friends had made to Boston. They laughed and sang the song on their journeys through the city. Interestingly, it also fits with the theme for the day. The lyrics cover both a destination and an interrupted journey, just like many of us experience -- the 'what do I do now?' aspect of the journey.
