Suffer The Effort
"The sacred place is not remote; No special roads lead to it.  If one proceeds where a guide has pointed, He will find only a slippery, moss-covered bridge."
- Genro

This piece is several poems linked by the theme of Spiritual Searching.  

It explores the journey of exploration and discovery that one experiences as they begin the path of the Seeker.  It chronicles both the euphoria of discovery, as well as the confusion, scorn, and fear of those who surround the Seeker.  It ends with an acceptance and understanding of the journey, with its beauty and pitfalls.
