9-Return to the Guild House
The trip to the higher place was such a great disappointment to me! I guess I thought I would have major revelations towards my ultimate quest there. When that didn’t happen, I felt like I had failed. I felt like I had missed something important and would not get a second chance. I became very discouraged and so traveled back to the guild house in a very unhappy mood. The trip back to the guild was also uneventful. I still wonder what there was to learn on this trip. But, since nothing comes to mind, I instead imbed myself into life at the guild. I enjoy my studio each day. I create lots of art. I make exchanges with the other artists and enjoy their company. Time passes, without much notice from me. I guess this has been a healing time for me. Healing from the disappointment.
Then, a few days ago, when I awoke, I began to wonder about the other journeys I could take, if I was so inclined. The thought was just a quick one, a twinge, like a high cloud crossing over the sun then leaving quickly. But each day the idea became stronger. I have now decided… I have to plan another journey.
My first step will be to select my destination. That will not be an easy task as there are many, and each and every one of them could hold an important key or piece of the puzzle to the answers I seek. I procrastinate for a bit. Finally, today, I decide to pull out the destinations and the map and try to make a decision. I am not good at making decisions, but I am going to make every effort to get myself started on my quest again!
