I think my problem is that I need to get out of my skin for a while. Unfortunately, no matter how far I go, this doesn't seem to be an option.

"Seek wisdom even as far unto China" wasn't meant to be taken literally =P Though leaving your headspace is vital for growth...

Who said it?

It's a Sufi saying- though the word for "China" was a play on "focused concentration/meditation" in arabic or persian...

On the other hand, the phrase was also used as a double meaning- folks who only thought about things externally would try to find the answers externally- those who saw things at essence would try to find the essence of the situation.

The journey of becoming who you are is definitely the journey of a lifetime =)

Just frustration and confusion and maybe a little depression. It isn't like this sort of thing has a cause.

But you are the one who taught me the truth of Xipe Totec... "if your skin ain't working, try another."
