“The outside world is your mirror,” the old man speaks to me. “It’s constantly reflecting who you were in the past, who you are in the present, or who you hope to be in the future. It’s a maze you are to navigate and only your commitment can do that.” “Commitment?” I ask. “Yes . . . the commitment at your core. It’s the sensation of knowing it will all work without any reason, the ability to feel connected without any proof.”
