I'll pass....
When are you leaving on your next wandering?
Chefs special...and you could bring the mate along - - - She was ashamed of her coarse and common existence, tired of being alone. Many years had she thirsted for fulfilment before he agreed to help. What would you like? He asked. An opportunity to learn, to know at least as much as you do, she replied. That was hard, even for someone like him, to take her from zero to infinity in a single step. So he mulled over her request and devised a plan. It will take a long time and the world is full of danger and strife - you may be tempted to give up along the way, he warned her but she promised to pursue till the end, vowing never to give up her quest for knowledge. With her preferences in mind, and with her consent, he charted a travel plan, an itenary for her to visit far away lands, to know different people and their cultures and become one of and with them, to get varying perspectives – travel is the best way to education, but its easy to get lost along the way, he cautioned, and to help her reach her goal, he handed her a roadmap and some (a limited amount of) currency. Then he requested some old friends in these distant lands to take his prodigy under their wing, provide her with food and lodgings and to help her learn. Assimilate all you learn in your wanderings and you’ll know as much as I, he said handing her a compass to guide her through her journeys. And so, armed with his gifts, she set out on her travels in her quest for knowledge. And they call her the Soul. |
