End of the road

Ever felt like you've reached the end of the road?  It's not always a good place to be.  Endings can be hard.  We need to leave things behind.  Let go of good stuff that's gone before.  We might not feel ready to set off on a new path.  Perhaps we can't see the way.  Only a dead end ahead.

But the end of the road is often the best place to start.  Heading off beyond the signposts and highways to the meandering paths beyond.  New journeys to be made, new places to be discovered. 

As T S Eliot wrote, endings are always the start of the beginning.

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”

Whether we like it or not something changes when we get to this sign. 

The end of something is always the start of something new.

And the only question that remains is, "What will we do with it?"

Thanks, Joanna, for those words of wisdom.

Jeanne, quite. The horizon always offers up new possibilities... we just have to decide which way to go.
