Soon the path ends. People don't go any higher. I scramble up cliffs into impossible valleys, and follow the creek back toward its source.

When the desire takes me, I go there alone: Alone, too, in enjoying ineffable views .... Walk to the place where the spring peters out And wait, seated, for the clouds to come up. Sometimes, wandering, I run into a hermit. We laugh, we talk, without a care about getting back.
