The Transformative Nature of Journey in Self-Identity
Kalyniuk, Holly
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v8 n2 p58-62 2016
Journey is an integral part of learning, a transformational process by which individuals discover a deeper understanding of their world and their own experiences for the betterment of themselves and their community. The process of abandoning familiar territory for the frightening and threatening unknown is part of being human, of struggling to comprehend our environment and those occupying it, of becoming intimately and irrevocably entangled in humanity as we live the continuous process of reinvention, renewal, and rediscovery. The exploration of self -- the very core of our identity -- is an unachievable axiom, a path untravelled by others but also intimately transformed and created by them. A lifetime of journeying is the only way to live, the only way to be human. The centre of this mystery is precisely where the thrill of pursuit and the bliss in perennial questing thrives.
