If this is the great evil of being alone, then what is good and what is evil? Everything which comes from the many is good. Everything which comes from one is evil. This have we been taught with our first breath. IF THIS IS THE GREAT EVIL OF BEING ALONE THEN WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS EVIL EVERYTHING WHICH COMES FROM THE MANY IS GOOD EVERYTHING WHICH COMES FROM ONE IS EVIL THUS WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT WITH OUR FIRST BREATH
like the forest. We cannot understand this new life which we have found, yet it seems so clear and so simple. When questions come to puzzle us, we walk faster, then turn and forget all things as we watch the Golden One following. The shadows of leaves fall upon their arms, as they spread the branches apart, but their shoulders are in the sun. The skin of their arms is like a blue mist, but their shoulders are white and glowing, as if the light fell not from above, but rose from under their skin. We watch the leaf which has fallen upon their shoulder, and it lies at the curve of their neck, and a drop of dew glistens upon it like a jewel. They approach us, and they stop, laughing, knowing what we think, and they wait obediently, without questions, till it pleases us to turn and go on. We go on and we bless the earth under our feet. But questions come to us again, as we walk in silence. If that which we have found is the corruption of solitude, then what can men wish for save corruption? N THE DAYS BEFORE US ARE WITHOUT END LIKE THE FOREST WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS NEW LIFE WHICH WE HAVE FOUND YET IT SEEMS SO CLEAR AND SO SIMPLE WHEN QUESTIONS COME TO PUZZLE US WE WALK FASTER THEN TURN AND FORGET ALL THINGS AS WE WATCH THE GOLDEN ONE FOLLOWING THE SHADOWS OF LEAVES FALL UPON THEIR ARMS AS THEY SPREAD THE BRANCHES APART BUT THEIR SHOULDERS ARE IN THE SUN THE SKIN OF THEIR ARMS IS LIKE A BLUE MIST BUT THEIR SHOULDERS ARE WHITE AND GLOWING AS IF THE LIGHT FELL NOT FROM ABOVE BUT ROSE FROM UNDER THE SKIN WE WATCH THE LEAF WHICH HAS FALLEN UPON THEIR SHOULDER AND IT LIES AT THE CURVE OF THEIR NECK AND A DROP OF DEW GLISTENS UPON IT LIKE A JEWEL THEY APPROACH US AND THEY STOP LAUGHING KNOWING WHAT WE THINK AND THEY WAIT OBEDIENTLY WITHOUT QUESTION TILL IT PLEASES US TO TURN AND GO ON WE GO ON AND WE BLESS THE EARTH UNDER OUR FEET BUT QUESTIONS COME TO US AGAIN AS WE WALK IN SILENCE IF THAT WE HAVE FOUND IS THE CORRUPTION OF SOLITUDE THEN WHAT CAN MEN WISH FOR SAVE CORRUPTION
