"I want to know and know I know," The Voice Celestial.
Once we overcome our reluctance to change and begin our journey, a mentor in some form appears. This mentor can come in many forms, consider the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, and the role of the mentor is to guide gently without giving specific advice, so that the hero grows by his/her own efforts and choices. When we step into the unknown on faith, someone or something will be there to help us. I remember reading that Carl Jung felt he got some guidance from a scarab beetle that landed on his window. A current movie, The Karate Kid, displays a mentor who guides while allowing the hero to make some mistakes and find his own way. Let us look for the mentors in our lives to help us find the way on our journey of self discovery while providing care.
