Final stage. Return. Not to what was — but to yourself, with what you have learned. You have traveled a path. You have excavated. You have inventoried. You have found direction. You have manifested. You have met the shadow. You have gathered yourself.

You take the map you have been drawing all this time — and look at it as a whole. You see the path. You see how far you have come. And — for the first time, perhaps — you see yourself.

Here you return to the letter you wrote at the very beginning. You read it. And you realize: the one who wrote this is no longer quite you. You have become more.
