“Nothing can hurt you here.” The river leads to the outside world. To growth, yes, we cultivate it daily. It happens imperceptibly and also all at once. We’re supposed to want that, but not yet. Out there is a thousand things we don't want you to know exist. So we return to the river again, year after year. We teach you to read the current and find the eddy. The eddy that swirls safely behind the rocks, the place to escape the rushing world for just a little longer. The last thing we want is for you to be carried off in the current; your bodies aren’t yet strong enough to swim out of it.
