‘what next on this path?’ asked the traveller
walking between stones and the sun
up hill, down dale, it’s a long road
and finding the strength to continue
is guided by a horizon that,
although for ever receding
is always here, right here

and in her words the sage says
‘continue, don’t give up, there’s always strength around you
feel the love of being in the other’s arms
and feel the sun on your back
as you take the drink of that water
that will take you through life
for you are here, now, in the centre’
