THE JOURNEY

How wonderful to be with someone who is
wise and knowing.
To follow them, to learn from them,
to be loved by them.
For they have been awakened to the
Joy of life.
But, if you cannot find such a person,
friend, or teacher,
Travel the path alone.
You will find the joy you seek.
In the forest each tree stands alone.

Written by: Darlene Eberhardt, October 27, 1999
Inspired by Teachings of the Buddha
