About this blog

This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

Utopia

DateWednesday, August 18, 2010 at 2:41PM

Utopia is on the horizon; I walk two steps, it takes two steps back. I walk ten steps, and it is ten steps further away. What is utopia for? It is for this, for walking.

Eduardo Galeano

Quoted in Steve Chandler's excellent Fearless

Thanks Euan...

Your post reminded me of lyrics from those Candian rockers, RUSH in the song Prime Mover... "The point of the journey is not to arrive"

I am afraid the levels of spam comments have become sufficiently high (yes you know who you are) for me to have to turn on moderation. I try to process comments as fast as I can but I know it is frustrating so - sorry!
