What I Learned on the way to West Virginia

"For What Do You Come Here Seeking" (or First Reflection Poem)
My feet still tread the ground
though my hike's become a saunter
I was searching for what I'd already found
and yet my legs propel me onward

A quest without a purpose soon becomes a plight
a man has chosen to pack and leave rather than stay and fight.
Finding God in the wilderness betrayed my lack of knowing
that God isn't in just one place & what matters is that I'm growing.

So end the hike and learn your lesson now:
Life's to be lived in community, the question is only how?
