PHASE III- THE SEARCH

PHASE  III 

THE SEARCH: DISCOVERY OF LIGHT

‘The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, saw you him whom my soul loves?’

                                                                                Song of Songs 3:3

The third phase of the Journey of the Scribe is the activity stage which requires zeal and dedication of the Sojourner. Because after awakening from the great sleep of yester years, a Sojourner, to move forward must do so in valiant search for higher knowledge and divine direction to the Grove of Gold. The eminent sage sang of the search in the 6^th trope of the 6^th Song thus:

              

                     Know the thing

                 To know

                 Because what sets us above the low

                 Is our innate search of nothing for something

                                                        Indigo (Skylark, Alauda arvensis)

The search of the Sojourner is conducted in the Spirit in tune with nature, probing into the recesses of existence to know and become a higher being. It is this craving for knowledge, wired into all aves, that inspired the sage to sing melodiously of extant inheritance in the 3^rd Song that:

                      Cells in cycle

                  About a globe

                  Pregnant with a probe

                  That will carve out a chronicle

                                                       Amoeba (Flamingo, Phoenicopterus roseus)

This search leading to acquisition of ethereal knowledge of immanent things imbues the Sojourner with extra ordinary wisdom with which the puzzles of existence are easily solved. The Sojourner, in the course of the search, when done in the Spirit of Truth and Faith, finds his path being led to a place of green pastures as it was promised in Psalm 23, traveling through mountain passes and stony ridges and desert sand and dunes, finally leading up to the Grove of Gold where tree flourish in seasons and fountain of light feeds the fishes in the ceramic pool of the Divine. At finding this glorious road and sighting the golden gate of the Grove from distance, a Sojourner feels an overflowing joy at heart, as the sage sang in the last trope of the 63^rd Song :

                          I was lost

                     In the winding way

                     Till night rescued me from day

                     Setting the hand of my clock at six

                                                   Cobalt (Common Nighthawk, Chordeiles minor) 

 

In joy and overflowing gladness of heart the Sojourner’s travel continues……
