There is no culmination in an investigation of the pursuit of private rituals, mantras, beliefs systems and longings that are instrumental to an individuals’ progress through one’s self within a communal structure in constant flux. Perhaps we are all cognizant islands longing for a poetic and personal Pangaea.
