"A young man comes for wisdom."

Disillusioned with the spectacles of the common life,

a man is first and foremost drawn to himself.

Deprived of the comfort of quick, questionable answers,

he becomes a wanderer on the least beaten paths.

A lost one for many, a living quest for the wise ones.

Eventually, the day will come

when he finally sees choices,

lying across bridges and passes,

obstacles and challenges,

thought by the lesser beings

to be natural barriers

against fools and hermits.

A necessary portal to the harsh lessons of wisdom.

One that fills the void kept inside the shell of the ordinary man
