When I mentioned the following passing thought to Boopsie, she told me that it acted like an instant mandala, presenting many avenues of meaning.
I offer it here for your enjoyment;

"When you incapable of further movment, you will have arrived at the destination."

Or, from a different Perspective;

"When you incapable of further movment, here you are!"

It's quite Confucian. However, it seems brutally ambiguous and anti-philosophical; that said, anything non-philosophical is a perfect candidate for philosophy (critical activity).

Perhaps more 'Zen', but I like that phrase, "brutally ambiguous"! Sweet!
That is the intent, for the greatest number of people to find 'personal' meaning(s) in one simple phrase as offered, it must be "brutally ambiguous".

and anti-philosophical;

That is true also, as philosophy is critical thought, the phrase was more for the potential instant epiphany/revelation which can be philosophised about following the 'experience'.

Yup! *__-

Then it wasn't brutally ambiguous enough ;)

With so much filling the 'eye of the beholder', one would think that there would be no room for 'ambiguity', but, lo and behold... there it is! *__-

I have often taken a ride in a train or a car and preferred, maybe even needed, to get out before its final destination had been reached.
