Quotes about Journey

To me, the purpose of change is to learn.  No matter what, change always shows me new parts of myself.  It refines my spirit and uncovers who I really am.  Change makes me a better person.  Change helps me accept the life I've been given and the mystery of the journey we're all on.

All your expectations
With adventures for the stout of heart
And the lure of the open spaces

And whichever side you're on
Accounts for where you want to go
Or what you're running from
Back when darkness overtook me
On a blind man's curve

I relied upon the moon and Saint Christopher

with its perfect bridge above
    the crocodiles,
and its doors forever open.

"My journey is my journey, how can you comprehend
That what becomes the truth for me is one I cannot lend
Or even simply give away, because it is of me,
It is of me, and me alone, not him, not her, not thee,
A private part of who I am and what I represent,
Impossible to understand from where your journey's sent."

On a dark, lonesome road
When I started this journey so long ago
I was only just trying to outrun the noise
There was never a question of having a choice
