Pushed away: Jasmine

Give me two roads and I'll take the one that costs more.

It selects the harder and more painful option consistently, across work, love and the ordinary questions of a life, and it steers particularly wide of joy, of closeness and of the whole female-coded register that it associates with being derailed. A mother who redirected its life away from its own course made comfort in her vicinity into the thing that cost the most, so suffering became the one condition that feels self-chosen. What it asks for is one easier road taken deliberately, and stayed on.

The Archetypal Form

It echoes Lancelot in the penitential years, riding out in a hair shirt, refusing every comfort offered and every hall that opened to him, punishing himself along a road that led nowhere in particular. The form implies a task: to accept one lodging on the way.
