Journey, Future, Patience

The movement of time, or how we move in it, is something we can only intimate at through words. We talk about it like something so simply map-ped out, with places we can point to: future, past. We speak of what's "in front" & “behind," but these are simply words borrowed for their simplicity and grafted onto new, more abstract subject matter, like a graft of one plant onto a tree—there we go with the metaphor again. But, whatever our journey, we will arrive in the future, wherever, whatever that may be, and we will do it best, more easily, by moving patiently.
