Companions

It is possible to travel alone. But the good traveler knows that the journey is human life and human life needs company. “Companion” means, the one who eats the same bread. Happy are they who feel they are always on the road and that every person they meet is their chosen companion. The good traveler cares for his weary companions. He grieves when they lose heart. He takes them where he finds them. He listens to them. Intelligently, gently, above all, lovingly, he encourages them to go on and recover their joy on the journey.
