I love the metaphor of the "spiritual journey," for it helps us remember that we are always - for all eternity - simply "on the way." There IS no final enlightenment, revelation, salvation or transformation, for each milestone we reach is simply the beginning point for a deeper realization of how far we have to go. Since we are ALWAYS on the way, we can therefore REST in the moment. For - since the journey is endless - every step is also an embodiment of the most beautiful realization of enlightenment. In this sense, the process is also the goal.
