The Repository is not the same type of room for everyone. Some Travelers step into their Repository rooms and see endless light, smell paper and find refuge. Others walk through the doors to find heaped stacks of books, dusty empty shelves, or pages that cut their fingers. Both types of Repositories are true because this room only reflects your relationship with your inner knowing and what you still fear to remember. The Repository is where you deposit fragments of who you have been- true, false or indifferent, a record room for every version of you. Each shelf holds a time in your life, and each book, report or record is a story you once believed. Some annotations are being written now. You may see ledgers and journals propped open on library tables. Some records are sealed in parts of the library closed of until you are ready. Some people may not have written records in The Repository at all, they may enter a room full of sculptures, paintings, or glass. Nothing here is unwelcome. All of it is you. Your First Act of Inquiry Stand in the doorway and ask yourself: - How does my Repository feel to me right now? Refuge, prison, something else entirely? - What artifacts or records are calling to me? - What am I afraid to explore and why? You do not need to fix or organize your Repository. You need to allow it to just be a space filled with versions of you that may make you uncomfortable. Write your answers below when you are ready. Every reflection shared clears the dust among the volumes.
