And no matter how hard you look, you’re almost invisible
to yourself,
Camouflaged by familiarity.*
Verlyn Klinkenborg

I don’t think you can know a place unless you walk it, because it isn’t about distance, but about content.**
Chris Arnade

We discover more about the person we can become
on the journey from the
familiar to the unfamiliar,
From the centre, to the edges –
Slowly, because we want to take in more,
We want to feed the soul.

The ego is concerned with centres, the soul lives on margins, circumferences, horizons.^
