There is a quote that I can only paraphrase but that basically says that one should never stop exploring until they return to the point they began at, and know the place fully for the first time. I never really understood this quote until this break and, I probably still do not fully understand it, but it hit me one day over break that maybe the knowledge were all after- God's knowledge- is not as much being able to see the big picture of life but to realize the smallest details of the world around us. I was walking and it occurred to me that I could sit and stare at one spot my whole life and it would always be changing from second to second. I used to think the point of travel was to find the universal truths and the overarching knowledge that applies to all peoples and places around the world. However, we as humans can be so distracted may another use of travel is to simply shock our systems into attention so we can realize the beauty and truth that was in front of us all along.
