To leave, and return unafraid

Be unafraid.

To arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time. That is only completely and totally achieved when we have rid ourselves of all fear. All.

And it is possible.

Our tendencies are to explore. And in the exploring, we are necessarily scathed. Some, mea culpa, and others not. But scathed, nonetheless. The purpose, then, of the journey back to where we first began, is to mend, and restore ourselves.

A lot of us don’t make it back to where we started. We don’t feel the need to return, but what we return to, is ourself. How can we be for others, if we have not quite met ourselves?

To leave, and return, and return again. And to know ourselves for the first time.

In freedom, without fear. That’s the mystery of returning.
