For they are not meek

William Garza

Veteran Member
Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances, The Jakobsweg
Because they study books and doctrin and method
And they become wise within that sphere

People will come from miles around and expound and heap and flatter...

Upon virtue of...
Praise for...
Ceasless-ly.

All the while safe skys overhead shower sunshine and little puffy clouds...sigh...

Comes the traveler
Dust and tan and smelling of far off...unfamiliar places and name

Gaze upon the worn shoes, the be-wrinkled faded eye that upon deeper understanding...
Is storm fraught,wind burned and is of a deeper understanding

Dangerous
Exciting
Rogue...

Yon wiseman..bereft of fevered travail and wonders of forces beyond that of horses and man to endure
Sits in idyll surrounded by honeysuckle and gentle limbed tree
Sipping pon some precious and febrile tea...mercy me...

See yon be-wearied traveler
Bemused from the toil and spectre of storm
Quickly weary to shake the dust of this place and travel outlier
Away from safe
Unto that road which feeds from teet a greater
A wiser..wider understanding
Forever shuttered from this place
Of alabaster statue
Stopped they are
A..Finite Wisdom for them

See yon traveler
A seeker of the deeper
Of the "other" understanding

Of the wisdom that those who are not meek understand

In passing
On dusty hot Meseta
Two track or table top

For they are not meek...

Pilgrim
Travel will leave a stain on you that those who never leave can see a mile away
You are forever to be different

Good.

When upon your doorstep from travels return you tread
"They"
They will not understand..they will ask
They will ooh

Aaaahhhh..I see...

But they wont.

You who are not meek...will seek others of similar rough and sunburnt character..

You who are not meek have a need to find the deeper,..

You who are not meek
"Spend" their lives..not hoarding for some far off when..where..could have........

Should have.

You who are not meek
Out there on the Way west
Take your lives and find whats out there.

Off you go!
