Always Somewhere

Today I’m travelling up The Long and Winding Road that inspired Paul McCartney to write the tune. Then back again this evening. It’s the trip we have to do if we want to get “anywhere”.

Being “a long way from anywhere” is a description people give for the distance we are from everybody else’s “somewhere”. It’s clearly not a normal place!

But most of us who are in that place, like it that way.

The truth is that everybody is somewhere. And it’s always a long way from anywhere.

Or in other words…

We’re all weird! And that could be the quality that united us, if we would only stop pretending that it’s we, and only we, who are the normal ones.
