Quote of the Day – August 30 2012

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
― Terry Pratchett

 

Journeys can take many forms. The most obvious of these would be the physical. We leave. We experience and we return in a spiral like fashion as we never truly return to where we started. It has moved on.  We admire how the people we left have grown and perhaps they see something new in us.

What happens tho when physical journeying becomes more difficult. Work and life responsibilities get in the way or financially we can’t pull it together and so at least physically our ability to leave becomes at least temporarily curtailed. Well we can take a retreat, a day away from our lives so to speak where we can recharge and renew. We can take a peace pause, a break from everything in which we can meditate or find another way of journeying within. There too, we leave, we experience and we return further along the spiral. Our outlook has changed so the way we see the people we ‘left’ changes also. Does the way they see us also change? Does observation change that which is observed?
Blessings, G
