in the stream and said "we could trust this being, and that we had nothing to fear of this being".... i know it means he could trust hisself and not be afraid of hisself... but what is the DEEPER meaning????

thanks for ANY insight!

Answer 1

i got from it that he can trust in his own self and that he doesnt have to be afraid of the things he feel for gaea or anyone or anything else in the world. he knows that he doesnt have to be afraid to live anymore and that he can trust in his instincts and ways if life. i loved this book :]

Answer 2

He begins to see himself as an individual.
