Your post was a needed reminder that we usually spend more time on the journey rather than at the destination, so it's vital to appreciate that path.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761370984567601403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050210624343654411.post-60842787174322932822011-05-31T06:41:19.419-04:002011-05-31T06:41:19.419-04:00This was great...Thanks for sharing...This was great...Thanks for sharing...Essay Writinghttp://www.essayprovider.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050210624343654411.post-31068761946951818092010-12-08T22:28:09.115-05:002010-12-08T22:28:09.115-05:00Thank you, Emma, for posting this.

I've never climbed the Great Wall, but I had this emotion researching in Hawaii. Nearly dark in an old bunkhouse and each time I looked out the window I saw only clouds and smelled the green, but horses surrounded me and bumped into the walls all night long. Whatever led me to that moment was worth it, I thought, and knew if my 11-year-old self had been beside me, she would have thought we were in Heaven!<br />Thanks for the reminder and the trip back, Emma.Terri Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716760160690015999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050210624343654411.post-10790381030888346172010-12-06T10:24:47.316-05:002010-12-06T10:24:47.316-05:00Beautiful imagery and message.

I too was lucky enough to visit China a few years ago, on business so I got to see a different China. But being completely out of my usual environment caused me to stop and consider how I had reached that point and where I was going. And why I was designing pottery! These moments can also show us new paths, or put us back on the one we had strayed from. I do hope to return to China one day and see the North. I loved the country and people more than I expected.
