You may wonder, 'How can I leave
it all behind if I am just coming back to it?
How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?'
The answer lies in the return.
You will not come back to the 'same old thing.' What you return
to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will
be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status,
or world you left behind.
The river has been flowing while
you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river.
