Earlier, I had written [in response to R'Micha]:
---
> The Ritva (on Berakhos 64a) explains that "lekh beshalom" implies that the shalom is limited to the halikhah, not the destination. <
Right, because the halichah is seemingly in the midst of shalom rather than looking at Shalom as an entity to reach.
---

Just to add/underline (quoting R'Micha's next sentence):
> Which is appropriate for a meis, who is headed for peace no matter what, and it's only the road that is in question. <
And a meis is already with/in the midst of Shalom, while we who are still ba'olam hazeh wish to (and wish that our rei'im) reach it.

All the best (including wishes to all for a shanah tovah umsuqah) from
