    A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

    Lao-tzu.

    For these are moments only, moments of insight,
    And there are reaches to be attained,
    A last level of anxiety that melts
    In becoming, like miles under the pilgrim’s feet.

    Isn’t it god’s own image? tramping his thirty miles a day
    after partridges, or a little rubber ball?
    wouldn’t you like to be like that, well off, and quite the thing?
