We all have a long way to go in our lives. We all travel together. For some, the journey is productive and long. For others it is difficult and longer. For others still, it is unexpectedly shortened by events in life we cannot know -- until they occur. "Long and Short Journeys" is a symbolic painting. Time and the events of our time here in the Universe are represented as both long, as shown in the "journey" we take on our "universal land" -- and brief, as shown in the silent and quick passage of the meteor streaking before our very eyes. We cannot know how extended or quick life will be for us, but we will all be given the opportunity make good use of the time we have if we look to time as a possibility rather than a finite limitation.
