About This Quote
To find the meaning of this quote you must look at the words “deep” and “chasm.” The word “deep” means deep in meaning. It means having a lot of meaning or complexity. “Chasm” is a great word that can describe anything that has a gulf or gap between two things. When we look at the words together we get an image of a place where there is a lot of distance but you can still get over it, like the Grand Canyon.
The very fact that people have been able to climb up and down the canyon shows how it is not all that deep. In other words, by bridging the chasm, people have been able to return home. This shows us the depth of the chasm may not be as deep as we think it is, or it may be deeper than we thought.
Determined people will always find a way over it and return home.
