We Tribe-of-the-Strange ride in the bus marked “Further!” Where the only faith that is held is that things will change. That the only answer to questions is inevitably more questions.
Whose only beliefs are that what we see is just a glimpse afforded to us by cobbled together tool-kits that must be continually re-examined; questioning its contents… discarding, adapting, modifying…
Forever moving forwards.
This is the never-ending journey towards a horizon on which sits the glimmering, twin mirage cities of Truth & Knowledge. One cannot chose to make this grand expedition unless it has already been begun.
This is a true quest which can never be halted, but respite can be found in the discovery of fellow travelers. Join together, lighten the load for the whole party. Seek out one another! Share and swap partial maps of this infinite territory.
There are no dragons in this land, only the friendly ghosts of the departed that will aid in combating the invisible demons of Falsehood & Deception.
Leave the best trail possible! Light signal fires when able, that others may hasten to follow.
Good luck! May you forever be almost there.
