We tend to think of intimacy in terms of physical and imaginative love for a single other, but intimacy is the key to almost all encounters in a human life.
Setting off on a journey, toward a possibility, an ambition, a horizon just beyond our present vision, but living in our imagination, has been an ancient and abiding dynamic in all human lives since the beginning of conscious time. We journeyed out of Africa to make our home all over this world and traveling, mostly on foot and in the company of others is a foundational part of our inherited cellular structure. We are each on a journey whether we leave the confines of our home or not, but this series is about preparing to go, metaphorically or literally, leaving the door and then setting off for new adventures toward something that calls us on.
