A never-ending journey

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

------------T.S. Eliott-----------

I think this is a lovely little poetic quote. It goes to show that everyone will always explore. And I suppose this goes for every level of exploration that there is. A personal exploration. An exploration of the mind, body and soul. An exploration of epic proportions around the globe. Every exploration is epic. No matter how hard or easy, or what it involves.

I found myself yesterday having a realisation that we are all, every single one of us, on a journey that never ends. The journey could be full of many surprises. I say it could, it is. It always has been, and always will be.

We are all part of something that possibly has no beginning, and surely has no end. For even if it were to end with an individual, the memory of that individual will live on, and remain, and so the journey continues.

I watch for the second time today the program Life After People, it's very clever. I first watched it about 2 months ago with the amazingness. It basically gives an idea of how much people are not really needed by nature, and how much it will flourish without.

But even if it did happen, even if everyone died off suddenly, or vanished, and nature did again take hold of the planet, the journey would not end there. In fact, I think from there it could be very exciting.

I do not believe that our lives end when we die off. In fact, I think that that is just the beginning. That the life we have here is just a little, a nanosecond in the grand scheme of things. yes yes!!

I don't know if we will ever stop exploring. I don't suppose we ever will. And it's because the exploration can happen on so many levels, that I don't believe it will. I suppose it could, but I have a feeling that it wont....and I also have this feeling that it can only be a very good thing =)
