Channeling Plato

Rational thought is powerful and important, yet only part of the Answer. Inside the deep cave there is no perception about the state of the outside world. Only by precariously climbing upward, despite snowfalls both imminent and past, actual and imagined, clinging to forward progress with crampon tips hungry for footholds while still trying taking care not to disturb the natural order and beauty, might a new light be found, one of connection, community, and liberation. Yet, the cave inside beckons with calls of seemingly endless delights too.
