“Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
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!'”
– From Rudyard Kipling’s “The Explorer” – 1898
it is a test of one’s will and conviction to follow one’s inner voice that quests for that which is lost.
we all start out young pioneers in the world, delighted with all that is new, seeking to learn more with each and every day. as the days go by, we become wiser to the subtleties of life, we carry the scars and memories which are the source of fear.
both internal and external change becomes harder as we loose flexibility. at some point we become “comfortably numb“.
