That must've been a wonderful hike!

That poem was inspired by those who are on a challenging life path in the mist of difficult circumstances to achieve their life missions and to following their heart/calling.
So, the entire poem is metaphorical and symbolic.

And physical bliss, denial born of religion
Severing its link with Love's Source.
The blackness of Space
In coffee
Is Love's
Vast
Womb.

Ziusudra, the mountain and the goat are symbols of Capricorn qualities. People who are born in Capricorn are learning patience in the face of challenges and difficulties, as represented by the goat dealing with rugged, rocky terrain as it ascends the mountain. The highest spiritual Initiations take place in this zodiac sign, atop the highest mountain, symbolically speaking.

learning without knowledge, hmmm.

I know a lot about nothing.

Silence can speak volumes.

For them with ears to hear.

Zee... that explains a lot about my life as a goat.
I don't want to be a goat anymore.

Ok, so which zodiac sign is on the easy breazy road, preferably just strolling on a white sandy beach and the weather is always perfect sunny 75F?
I must know...... because I am going to pick the easy breasy zodiac sign for my next incarnation.

Thanks! Explorer, Noway, and Unseeking!!

BTW, Noway,
About learning w/o knowlege, here is the meaning behind my expression:
Do you remember your first words or when you first started talking as a toddler?
None of us remember that stage of our childhood.
When we first learn to speak as a young child, we learn w/o knowing that we are learning. When we were young, our first language became a part of our being w/o having to know the language.
So, in my expression, learning the Universal language is like that, except it is like that for any age.
