Because you’re leaving, again.

You know life is in the journey and not in the arriving – arriving are part of the journey.  Some speak of this journey as a gift to unwrap, others as a responsibility for every Human to figure out.

It is the Human story: the migration of inquiry and thought and community and invention:

Indeed, the very liveliness of a culture is determined not
by how frequently these thinkers discover new continents
of thought but by how frequently they depart to seek them.

We are seekers more than finders, always hunting for the edges, the patterns of existence.  It’s more than knowing, it is experiencing.  We might act upon what we know, but we might not.  We are more likely to act when what we know resonates within us and we experience or participate in rather than observe.

We offer explanations for why something is the way it is, but we tell our stories to remind ourselves and others why we have to do what we do:

Knowledge is what successful explanation has led to;
the thinking that sent us forth, however, is pure story.

Check out the myths and legends which survive the test of time and we will see it is ever so.

Each of us has a story whispering to us, it just may not be the one we’re hearing.
