Wisdom Seeker: They did not know where he came from, but one day, a stranger appeared out of thin air, wearing a red hooded cloak tied at the waist with a golden rope. When asked about himself, the newcomer described himself as a wanderer, searching for things without knowing what they might be. He referred to himself as a Wisdom Seeker. The guest explained that he was in their little village to climb the local mountain. When the townsfolk asked him why, the Wisdom Seeker replied that he did not know; he only felt that it was important to reach the peak, as that was where the answer might lie. As the whole town gathered to see the Wisdom Seeker off early the next morning to wish him well on his adventure, the wind began to blow, and with it, there was heavy snow. The folk begged him to stay until another day. The newcomer replied that the task needed to be achieved that day and only that day. So off he went. The climb was hard going with the whipping wind and snow, but he persevered. At one point of the ascent, a thick fog formed. But unknown to the Wisdom Seeker at the time, it was clouds he was traveling through. Finally, the wanderer marched above them to reveal a clear, half-day night sky scape. A quarter Moon shone above him, accompanied by three stars. Out to the valley hung the Sun with three clouds basking in its warmth. Unable to climb higher, the Wisdom Seeker spread his hands and yelled, ” I am here seeking your wisdom.” We may never know what was told to him, for the Wisdom Seeker was never to be seen again. Now, on this same date each and every year, a new stranger appears in the same little village, looking to climb the same mountain. He, too, will never be seen again. www.angelwingartfarm.com
