“I'm looking for the way back to a place I was taken from before I ever knew it, somewhere whole and unwounded.”
It runs as a soul-search for return, a symbolic seeking of the Eden one came from, an attempt to heal a profound wound laid down by intense maternal rejection reaching back to the womb. The longing is real and archetypal; it can send a person searching the horizon for a wholeness that was lost at the source. What it asks for is to let the return begin in one present, ordinary bond.
Ponce de León, who sailed a lifetime after the fountain that would restore the unwounded source, certain the way back to it lay somewhere just over the water. The form implies a task: to stop sailing and be restored in the present.
