A beginning and an end, a past without which there is no future. Crossing the boundaries that change us. Loss that makes us gain something we did not want. Deep emptiness and darkness. Emptiness in which something new can grow. Darkness in which light can be born. This is the path I chose to take. Path where I reclaimed the memories I lost. Regained the ability to go back whence I came. I chose to flourish and heal. My roots buried deep in earth. It doesn’t matter – to wade through one’s soul or the world – to find the peace once lost. It’s all the same. We leave only to return. From oneself to oneself. Home.
