    To me the quote suggests that the most important things in life take time to develop, time to grow, time to evolve. They need to be nurtured and then sustained through time. The journey, not the destination, is the gift.

      Alice ~ that is absolutely true. I am a tremendous advocate of self-care. When we take the time for ourselves (and for those we love), we truly live. Best to you! ~C.

    Alice, there is no need for me to add to your interpretation. It is spot on. Be blessed, everyone.
