The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
  - Joseph Campbell

The Explorer

“There is no sense in going further — it’s the edge of cultivation,”

So they said, and I believed it — broke my land and sowed my crop —
Built my barns and strung my fences in the little border station
Tucked away below the foothills where the trails run out and stop;

Till a voice as bad as Conscience, ran interminable charges
On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated — so;
“Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges —
“Something lost behind the ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!”
  - Rudyard Kipling, from “The Explorer” as quoted in Meditations on Nature, Mediations on Silence

. . . . . . .

“Your longing guards your mystery”
I read somewhere.

What is life trying to teach you
That you are trying to avoid?

What’s hidden, lost beyond your ranges?
What’s lost, and waiting for you?

What have you traded comfort for
Trying to avoid?

Why don’t you like this question?
    - Roderick MacIver
