I walked alone up along the high path, narrow and exposed. A stony way, with winds and crags.
I came upon a wide landing, protected, where I met face to face a deer.
Our shock at seeing one another: why was each there? Were they lost?
❖
Am I lost? Where does this path lead, Lord?
If I find a spot, and rest, who will visit and surprise me?
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I be open to who and what may arise?
