Welcome Truth

Welcome Truth

I was coming down the sandy hill

At Yosemite Falls.

With a sixty pound pack.

After having stayed the night

At the top.

I rounded an almost vertical corner,

And two little girls were suddenly there -

One with dark features and hair,

One with light features and hair.

It was a fortune telling event -

Followed through by a man who had

Walked up from below and

Asked if I wanted a fortune told.

I said sure and the girls told

Me the story.

They said I could go one way -

And these things would happen.

Or I could choose another way -

And these other things would happen.

I thanked them.

They left together for the top

Of the falls.

I left for the bottom.
