Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.                 /T. Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky, p. 349/

What is Your Centre?

After watching Rise of the Guardians [imdb], I came away slightly pensive and highly spirited. A nice conversation to break the ice, excuse the pun.

What do you see?
- You have big eyes?
- Yes! Big eyes! Very big, because they are full of wonder.
That is my centre. It is what I was born with: eyes that have always seen wonder in everything!
Eyes that see lights in the trees,
the magic in the air,

this wonder is what I put into the world!

And what I protect in children - it is what makes me a guardian.

It is my centre. What is yours?
Jack Frost and North. The Rise of the Guardians

Is it pretentious to think I am North? I find myself thinking along the same lines.
What is your center?
