The Fork

A chap went on a search,
for the true self.
Soon a fork appeared in the path.
An old lady was sitting there
spinning some yarn.
The guy asked her
which road to take
to reach the true self.
She said, "that I cannot tell you."
But I can tell you about the roads.
The road to the right
is well charted,
it has been taken by many over the ages.
There is a route map
and there are mile stones.
It has sarais along the way
for the weary traveller,
well stocked inns and night spots,
all conveniences to make
the journey comfortable
and of course enjoyable.
There is only one snag,
they all come back to this spot
and ask the same questions."

After taking the road to the right
a number of times, and coming backk
to the fork repeatedly,
the chap asked,
"what about the road to the left?"
"well, nothing is known about it.
You see, who ever takes the road to the left,
never comes back."
I was the chap in search.
I am now the old lady spinning yarn.
