I really got caught up in the paragraph 589 about the explorers who journeyed north. We celebrate those who returned and rewarded them with fame. The focus was on the those who journeyed, not the journey itself. We mourn those who did not return. But why? They stayed focused on the task and not themselves. Just because they didn't return for their fame, doesn't mean they failed. Maybe they found the limit. Maybe they chose not to return. Just because we didn't hear them announcement of victory, doesn't mean it didn't happen. "What did Adree find in the polar silence: what should we have heard?"
