It was the road of trials. In the hero’s journey, it is a time of incredible tests.*
Jean Houston

Freedom means freedom in the face of three things: (1) the instincts; (2) inherited disposition;
and (3) environment.**
Viktor Frankl

Our instincts may not always be true,
Our dispositions not always helpful, nor our environments
nurturing; the easy paths will not
provide our freedom from
that which holds us back from becoming what
we each are capable of becoming –
We must test and question, and be prepared to
let go.
