What a large volume of adventures may be grasped within the span of [her] little life by [she] who interests [her] heart in everything.
~ Laurence Sterne in A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY THROUGH FRANCE AND ITALY
This place where the two seas meet is the locus of the mystical journey, "where the dead fish becomes alive," where spiritual teachings become a living substance that nourishes the wayfarer. When we meet the path, this happens: something becomes alive within our heart and soul. We become nourished not by spiritual texts or teaching, but by direct transmission. The spiritual journey is a way to live with this spiritual substance, to be burned by its fire, to be consumed by its love.
