The wayfarer was once asked by a villager in a town he was passing through, “Where are you going?”. The wayfarer stood there and thought for a while, he looked up and smiled at the villager and said, “I’m going home. Always home”. The villager looked at him curiously, “But why did you leave your home to one day return to the same place?”. The wayfarer, who wasn’t a young traveller anymore, looked up with a calmness and wisdom of an ancient and replied with piercing clarity, “That is the beauty of the journey. To return to a place and see it with new eyes, to feel it with a refreshed heart. I leave in hope of learning, I return in hope of seeing a new reality. One needs to journey not to see new places but to return to old places with a renewed spirit.” The wayfarer left the villager and continued on his journey.
