A peaceful view of the Pacific at Big Sur from the vantage point of Nepenthe. A traveler can sit here for hours lost in meditation. At some point during travel, it becomes absolutely necessary to stop; just stop, and really see what it is you’ve come to see. As I get older, I’ve come to realize that rushing from one place to the next during a trip is not necessarily the point of traveling.

Very wise words illustrated with a stunning photo, Angeline. Doing or being is often the unconscious dilemma we go through in life.
Being aware of it, no matter how old we are, it’s life changing.
Have a peaceful week.

Ooh, Angeline, this is beautiful! I’m imagining myself meditating in this place. I agree. I dislike traveling when you have to rush going one place to the next. I think it’s exhausting and you really can’t enjoy it.

So true.. I have also now learnt to stop and “smell the roses” so to speak… we miss so much when we rush down the road…

I spent one too many trips on running around like a crazy person, got back home and wondered what that trip was all about. No more! Thanks for stopping in, Maria.
