Missed you a lot, especially the wonderful T-shirts - of which I have six - and only the other day was wishing I could get more.
What about you? Think you belong with us?

 | You haven't lived
If you haven't 'laboured' for something you really want, you haven't lived. If you've done this, you'll know that 'hope' is sometimes the only thing that gets you through. Give it a shot sometime. I promise you won't regret it.

 | RLS
I think that the concept of traveling to expand your horizons was what RLS was refering to, not the act of sitting insensate until you reach a particular destination. The enjoyment of travel truly is enhanced when the journey is hard earned.

| I agree with Robert
The journey should be enjoyed or it is wasted. Journey's can take days, weeks and years, while the arrival is only a moment.

| The Journey is All
It's fascinating how people often arrive at the same conclusions but via very different paths. I thought this exact same thought (but not in these words) on a ferry between Long Island and Fire Island NY in July 2001. Only later, during an empathetic conversation with dear friend Mark E. Pollack, was I made aware (by him) that Robert Louis Stevenson had been there before .... and actually much more elegantly.

 | Travelling Hopefully
I agree that it is a triumph if one can "travel hopefully" as it makes life so much sweeter but there could be a danger of just settling for the journey and not striving hard enough to get to the arrival point. My husband and I have worked extremely hard toward our goals and we both want to live to see their fulfilment. I'm not sure I agree with true success is to labour....but I guess that is an individual thing.

 | SURE ...
I don't believe a single word of this! What on earth wasRobert Lois Stevenson thinking when he said this! Wasn't he the guy who lived on a topical island, essentially in a paradise? At a time when travelling (there) took like forever and if you survived the storms and the pirates and the scurvy you might just get there, but o.n.l.y if you dodged the coral reefs and then the sharks! Wasn't this when most of your travelling companions were convicts bound for ... Australia? Sure Roberto! No way I want that trip to stop. No way I'd want to get to my tropical island. No way I'd rather be soaking up the sun, sipping the rum and coke and a frangapanni in my hair! You've certainly got this right! Just like the followup quote about 'labor'! What are you doing there ... sipping the cool-aid? Too many words, too!!
