Peace

Her journey for understanding has taken her many miles from her childhood home. Many years have come and gone during her quest to define herself. The innocents have grown up to become warriors in their own right and her loved one has finally found an existence that he can endure. Whether or not he is truly happy there is anyone's guess. Is this the life she was meant to live? Would it have been different if she had made different choices? Perhaps our vision is always clearer when we look back down the road that we traveled than it is when we try to see the path in front of us. She has learned much from the many others who have walked with her and has felt blessed to have shared their world with them. Her exile has brought her peace that she understands what motivated the keeper to keep such a secret. God had been kind to the keeper who had built her entire world around the girl child and knew the secret would have unforgivable consequences, so, he took the keeper home and left the girl to struggle because he knew in his infinite wisdom that eventually she would work it all out in her mind and everything would be alright. At some point she will return to the home of her childhood because it is pulling her, drawing her with its memories, but, for now she is content to follow the road wherever it will lead her.
