'every step an arrival'



Denise Levertov (1923 - 1997) pens imagery that resonates with me as I reflect on where I have been and where I'm going. In 1958, in the poem Overland to the Islands from her second American book, she wrote:

Let’s go—much as that dog goes,
intently haphazard....
—dancing
edgeways, there’s nothing
the dog disdains on his way,
nevertheless he
keeps moving, changing
pace and approach but
not direction—‘every step an arrival’.
