Wonderful, thank you
Beautiful.
Lovely! The resonance in your poem is marvelous . . .
a pilgrim
becomes this time worn path
earth birth stone
A humble senryu echo__ to complement. _m
A solid poem that resonates.

I feel this is both literal and an allegory perhaps. Perhaps we who walk rough hewn paths also tackle rough hewn problems straight on, wanting to be, if not a better person, a humbler one.
Wonderful poem and something to read many many times over the year and into next year.

slug paths
do they see through
the eyes of God?
