We Are on a Journey [00:00:16]
Wherever you are, [00:00:19]
and whoever you maybe, [00:00:20]
there is one thing in which you and I [00:00:22]
are just alike at this moment, [00:00:25]
and in all the moments of our existence. [00:00:28]
We are not at rest; we are on a journey. [00:00:31]
Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, [00:00:35]
ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. [00:00:39]
We are gaining something, [00:00:45]
or losing something, everyday. [00:00:47]
Even when our position and our character [00:00:50]
seem to remain precisely the same, [00:00:53]
they are changing. [00:00:56]
For the mere advance of time is a change. [00:00:58]
It is not the same thing to [00:01:02]
have a bare field in January and in July. [00:01:04]
The season makes the difference. [00:01:08]
The limitations that are childlike [00:01:12]
in the child are childish in the man. [00:01:15]
Everything that we do is a step [00:01:19]
in one direction or another. [00:01:22]
Even the failure to do something [00:01:24]
is in itself a deed. [00:01:27]
It sets us forward or backward. [00:01:30]
The action of [00:01:33]
the negative pole of a magnetic needle [00:01:34]
is just as real as the action of the positive pole. [00:01:38]
To decline is to accept the other alternative. [00:01:43]
Are you nearer to your port today [00:01:50]
than you were yesterday? [00:01:51]
Yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other; [00:01:53]
for since your ship [00:01:59]
was first launched upon the sea of life, [00:02:00]
you have never been still for a single moment; [00:02:03]
the sea is too deep, [00:02:06]
you could not find an anchorage if you would; [00:02:09]
there can be no pause [00:02:13]
until you come into port. [00:02:15]
