I was at the office yesterday and a young coworker asked about my book. I had a copy in my bag which I signed and gave to him. The smile of youth was gone from his face, his adulting well under way. He said he’d read about my book on-line, and wondered what I’d found out there in the desert deep. I answered that I’d found nothing, which was the point of going alone. I explained it was the coming back that mattered, that coming home was the reason to go. He told me that he knew a desert of his own as well, and that he was screwing up his courage to go and see. I hope that he will be safe on his journey out there alone. And someday maybe find his way home. And maybe even find his smile again along the way, the smile that comes of first going alone.
