You cannot stay
on the summit forever
you have to come
down again
so why bother
in the first place?
Just this:
What is above
knows what is below,
but what is below
does not know
what is above.
One climbs, one sees.
One descends,
one sees no longer,
but one has seen.
There is an art
of conducting oneself
in the lower regions
by the memory
of what one saw
higher up.
What one can
no longer see,
one can at least
still know.
