Beginning a Journey

I have heard it said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, but I think a journey starts as a possibility of an idea. 


The idea germinates and is impacted by everyday life, reading, personal hopes, dissatisfaction and a yearning for something different.  


Once a person becomes saturated by these musings they then act as fertiliser nourishing the idea of possibilities. This leads to what initially seem stupid or fanciful ideas forming which in turn energises a person to think beyond their local limitations.

When the environment is favourable, or the appropriate amount of heat and pressure is formed, the idea bursts forth into practical reality, and the first physical steps of a journey begin.
