There is only one journey-

Going into yourself.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

If one were a detached observer of our world you might conclude that there is only one journey – the journey to the shopping mall.  This writer thinks that this, together with sport, have become the new temples of meaning.  We have replaced Descartes, “I think, therefore I am,” with “I am, therefore I shop.” Or perhaps, “I am, therefore I spectate.”

Many stories of old, which are referred to as wonder tales within many cultures, contain stories about mirrors.  Mirrors are a device used to signify a threshold place. It is said that the mirror does not lie.  It is simply a reflector of what is.

What is within you is reflected out into the world.  The way each of us sees the world is a reflection of our inner state. The journey within yourself is an endless journey. One simply goes deeper and deeper. It is a journey into a void. Only this void is not empty. It is filled with creative potential waiting to be given birth.
