“Many children have pet turtles, and they often create a little parkland for the creatures in their backyards.. They bring it water and foliage every day, and yet still the turtle will run away, to the extent that what it does can be considered running..
But the turtle may be moving toward something rather than escaping. Within a couple of blocks or a handful of miles, the turtle knows how to find a forest, a beach, a sweet stream with lush vegetation. It doesn’t want to flee but to come home.
Every departure, every journey has within it the seeds of a homecoming. No matter where we are travelling, we are always on our way home.”
