In one sense we are always traveling
and traveling as if we did not know where we were going.
In another sense we have already arrived.
We cannot arrive at the perfect possession of God in this life, and that is why we are traveling in darkness. But we already posses Him by grace, and therefore, in that sense,
we have arrived and are dwelling in light.
But Oh!
How far I have yet to go to find You, in Whom I have already arrived!
-Thomas Merton
