“Travel back to oneself… I had always imagined that the word referred to forward linear travel… now I wonder if the trajectory might not be circular; you spiral around and, somewhere behind where you were, you come upon your former self, a self that is somehow changed. You’re a child again, yet not exactly: a creature who possesses something you once possessed—innocence, perhaps, or courage or joy—but who is equipped this time around to hold on to whatever it was you lost.”
― Robert Leonard Reid, Arctic Circle: Birth and Rebirth in the Land of the Caribou
