LEAVE

Packing, picking up, and heading out... It's time to see what it's all about. Walking away from a familiarity and into the unknown___ Now, this may sound a bit foolish... But perhaps it's just schoolish. A time for some learning... Get out and feed your yearning. A time to leave... Out toward your dreams you must cleave. This can be or seem scary... But for the hero, it is necessary. Leaving the comfort and coddling blanket of home The same place where you started to feel so alone Out, out into the great yonder... Away into the vastness to discover as you wander. Abraham had to do it. And so did Joseph. John the Baptist did it. And Jesus, when he left Nazareth So, go on as others have before... A hero's journey is not one to abhor.
