Know the place
follow the road
carry a map
ask directions.
Wandering
in the fog
and the dark
alone
is bitterly endless
and aimless.
Sit down
sleep a little
wake up at dawn
ask for guidance
draw a map.
Join a circle
share a story‑‑
listen.
Others may teach
new and old thoughts.
You'll hear answers
blanks will be filled.
Joining others
makes life
grow in the desert
through the sand and the
live the seeds of hope.
