Coming together, being apart and attempting to return to a place where we found peace, both outside and within, have all encompassed a journey known to us as exchange. We travel far in order to question what we think we know. We soon learnt that changes in location do not alter or change the battles we must fight to know and improve ourselves. If not fought here and now those same battles confront us where ever we may be. Those things that cause us despair breed avoidance, but dealing with them promises opportunity. Being truly honest grants us the deepest satisfaction, because with honesty and acceptance comes understanding.
So, travel... seek... and grow. This is what lies ahead. Promise to try to remember the lessons learned, as they will fortify you as you continue your journey through life and in the path you must take to find yourself. Enjoy life for it brings many gifts to you everyday and the unique opportunity to follow your individual vision and create your own sacred reality.
Good Luck to those who are going, are already there and those of us who are back and still searching. This is a journey that will, or has changed you and we hope that your life has only become more meaningful to you. So don't be afraid of the unknown. Embrace it and in the process come to know your true self.
