Introduction

Returned And Restored

To be "returned to ourself" is simply to be brought back into the truth of who each of us is. All the philosophies, theologies, or ideologies, for all their value, cannot compare with the richness and life that already exists within us. Notice the "returning" is done to us, not by us. This is important, for it is through our relationship with others and with God that we are brought back. Brought back, kind of to where we started, but to a self that emerges as infinitely "more" by way of the exchange with that "other."
