Golden Oldie, Poetry Thursday

I love this one ... I mean, love...  I hope you enjoy it.


What I am trying to say is hard
to tell and hard to understand...
Unless, unless... you have been
yourself at the edge of the
Deep canyon and have come back
unharmed.  Maybe it all depends
on something within yourself --
Whether you are tyring to see the
Watersnake or the Sacred Cornflower,
whether you go out to meet
death or to seek life.

-Elder of the San Juan Pueblo


Not San Juan Pueblo, but New Mexico...
