Excellent topic and support notes David! Learn from the past as foundational insights to how we got to where we are and live in the present as that is truly the only control we may have and even that to a point. What comes to mind is a quote >“No person ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and they are not the same person.”― Heraclitus
Scott, it's almost as if your words are a bridge between "there" & "here" and David...the comments section of your ikigai expression an invitation to share in that exploration 🙏
This reminds me of the word "Liget", from the llongot tribe in the Philippines.
A high voltage emotion of grief, longing, missing the living, disconnected, heartache, and at the sane time a call to action, anger, sadness, do anything to make it right.
I wonder if we sense, on some level, that place "where we have never been wounded" is deep in there, and we feel a type of grief over continuing to be separated from it. Even when we manage to uncover it, we may not be permitted to express it in a way that has any external impact. The proverbial tree falling in a forest.
That is another word worth exploring! As to that place of soul without wounds is perhaps visible only in a mirror darkly. "For now we see as through a mirror, in darkness, but then we shall see face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know even as I also am known."

That Ian Keefe house is amazing, BTW
