Amid the whirling forces I stand,
confused.
I know them not
for during all my past,
they swept me up and down the land wherein I moved,
blinded and unaware.
From place to place
and point to point,
they drove me up and down the land
and nowhere was there rest…

I know them now
and here I stand
and will not move
until I know the Law which governs all this movement
up and down the land.
I may revolve
and turning my face the many different ways,
I face some wide horizons
and yet
Today I stand.

I will determine for myself the way to go.
Then onward I will move.
I will not travel up and down the land
nor turn in space.
But onward I will move.
