[00:00:16] We Are on a Journey

[00:00:19] Wherever you are,

[00:00:20] and whoever you maybe,

[00:00:22] there is one thing in which you and I

[00:00:25] are just alike at this moment,

[00:00:28] and in all the moments of our existence.

[00:00:31] We are not at rest; we are on a journey.

[00:00:35] Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady,

[00:00:39] ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.

[00:00:45] We are gaining something,

[00:00:47] or losing something, everyday.

[00:00:50] Even when our position and our character

[00:00:53] seem to remain precisely the same,

[00:00:56] they are changing.

[00:00:58] For the mere advance of time is a change.

[00:01:02] It is not the same thing to

[00:01:04] have a bare field in January and in July.

[00:01:08] The season makes the difference.

[00:01:12] The limitations that are childlike

[00:01:15] in the child are childish in the man.

[00:01:19] Everything that we do is a step

[00:01:22] in one direction or another.

[00:01:24] Even the failure to do something

[00:01:27] is in itself a deed.

[00:01:30] It sets us forward or backward.

[00:01:33] The action of

[00:01:34] the negative pole of a magnetic needle

[00:01:38] is just as real as the action of the positive pole.

[00:01:43] To decline is to accept the other alternative.

[00:01:50] Are you nearer to your port today

[00:01:51] than you were yesterday?

[00:01:53] Yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other;

[00:01:59] for since your ship

[00:02:00] was first launched upon the sea of life,

[00:02:03] you have never been still for a single moment;

[00:02:06] the sea is too deep,

[00:02:09] you could not find an anchorage if you would;

[00:02:13] there can be no pause

[00:02:15] until you come into port.
