All experience is an arch where-through gleams that untravelled world (Lord Alfred Tennyson)
To know where you are, you have to leave and return. You have to travel the full trajectory of the arch, heading out farther and wider before bending back toward the place you started. And when you get there, it is no longer the same place, because you are no longer you (John Tallmadge)
I look back
Through the arch of each day
And give thanks for the each day’s lessons
Some are harder
To accept and learn from than others
Places to go
And places I have been
I am no longer the same person
I am growing in experience and wisdom
To be used at a later time…
Each lesson
Is a stepping stone
Into the greater picture
That lies beyond the arches
