_ The big sign which was made to get our own individual attention is calling. It is trying to show us the way, but we refuse to follow where it leads. The journey is within us. A battle of morals. How, then, can we refuse to follow? Search for what makes things fair or unfair. Does not every person understand what is fair versus what isn't? Good = fair Bad = unfair Sometimes greed (pride) causes us to be unfair to others. Why would we do so knowingly? The only way to reverse the direction is to go the other way! Look for the Way and you will find it. Choose for your personal moral, not mine.

Hi, Nicholas. Yes, like your cross, I suppose "Boatman" is a shape poem...."Where" is a multi-question. Your poem poses the living problem, "Why?" Who can figure? We've been given so many great messages...most of them blindly disregarded. Good write. Keep reminding. Love, Daver
