The true teacher

The story begins with you as the Fool and the Fool's journey begins where you stand. When we open the door and enter, it coses behind us and we can only move forward. The challenges we face are opportunities to evolve depending on our willingness to take risks. Growth occurs whether we fail or succeed. In the end, the door that was closed behind us appears ahead and the ride begins.

The Rider takes off with little regard for what they are leaving behind. With determination, they test their ideas of who they are, who they might be. They ride with a friction of wind pressed to their body, brushing away, that which is not original, molding that which is becoming, growing into the one who can meet this world with an intimacy and an honesty that makes for a truth in everything they touch.

Eventually you find yourself exactly where you are meant to be. You have reached your destination. No longer are you reaching with those searching eyes, but now the world pours into those eyes. There is an understanding beyond words and your purpose is revealed. And now you find yourself, once again, at the crossroads where the journey begins as you've come back home.

So why go through the struggle? Because it is the only way to find home. If you never leave, you'll never know.
