The Philosopher’s Weight by Stewart Stafford
Philosopher in my peripheral vision,
Pouring watery wisdom rapidly
Into my ear, then stepping back,
Smiling, he bid me go on my way.
What he said made my way clearer,
But added to the burden on my back,
While lightening his own load,
In guiding a stranger through the dark.
What advice did the wise one give me?
"Follow one step with another and live,
My son, use any difficulty you find
As a beacon on your journey to salvation."
