I rolled the bones with a nomad Shaman's daughter,
I chanted with monks in Tibet for a year and a day,
I bathed in the sacred waters of the river Ganges,
and found Darshan there, while searching for The Way.

From these travels I discovered the seed of wisdom's measure,
a single leaf of knowledge,
a mantra to treasure,
I waited till the moon eclipsed full,
and the inner planets all aligned in a row,
then I pressed the leaf into the book of remembrance for safe keeping,
as I continued to watch the wheel of life spin and the river of time
gently flow.

Yes, a thousand seasons I have walked this wheel.

All the while feeling the baneful eyes of Ahriman upon my shoulder.
