La valise out le cercueil, is French for "the suitcase or the coffin." Pared to it's essential meaning to me it says if you leave you live. If you stay you die.
Buddah had to go on a journey, leave his palace and hometown to find his enlightenment. Mohamed had to leave the area of his birth to win Mecca and Medina. Moses was a prince in Egypt but that wasn't the place to be for him. He died on the way to his promised land but never stopped moving. Jesus was scorned in his own town, no one could believe the son of a carpenter was really their Messiah. He had to find followers elsewhere, and send his apostles all over. All of these example lend credence to the saying no prophet is accepted in his own land.
I'm not a prophet. But I am on a journey of personal perfection. Enlightenment. The aforementioned examples are all relgious in nature, but the individuals effected billions of people. I think they give a model to follow. Growth doesn't happen without change.
I want to change my physical location. I'm not running away but I am looking for the right change of residence that will lead to my best growth. I feel if I stay where I am at, c'est le cercueil. So I need to pack my valise and figure out where I should go, as I know it is no longer here in San Diego.
