from the meditation cushion: is life really a journey?

We're accustomed to thinking of life as a journey, but is it really?

Ok, life is a "trip." I'll grant you that.

Where do we "really" go in life? Have you really gone any where during your life? No, please don't tell me about your latest vacation to Italy.

Do we really go any where? You are where you have always been. Following me? No, please don't follow me because I'm not going any where.

What if we simply gave up the idea that life is a journey and just accepted there is no where to go except where we have always been?

Granted, this notion could put lots of "travel agents" out of business. But were they ever really in business?
