A Seeker’s Answer I walk in high mountains; in troubled thoughts, a seeker lost upon the snows of time. In my mind, tomorrow’s storms; in my eyes, an unshaped, unsure world... But the wind, my constant companion of lonely days upon the crags, shifts and obliterates my old path. On I must now go, with nothing to see, but the swirling snows. I fear to forge ahead dreading this moving emptiness in strange, unfamiliar territory. Could I still turn back, I wonder, knowing my trail was long lost in drifts...? A voice in the rising wind addresses my fear and loneliness: "To give your life new meaning, graciously accept all change – let the rains cleanse your heart of bitterness, the snows heal your eyes of blindness, the sun dry those tears of regret and just let nature guide you gently upon untrod paths to new adventures. All of life once was an adventure man had learned to live to its fulness ‘til he lost his seeking spirit, his childlike faith and trusting awe; become time bound, space conscious, blocked, fenced, cornered, captive, enslaved and dying in ever-expanding cities made of pain.” Eager to escape the common fate, I looked up and saw a way leading to the very highest peaks. |

When I read your poems, WW, I always feel that I am in the presence of a great philosopher and feel a need to understand and remember your wise words. I never miss your offerings. Ida |

It is a pleasure to climb (vicariously) with you into those clear spaces. Thank you for this refreshing moment, WW. |
