Obedience is a path sometimes barely
Discernible, yet sensed by the intuitive.
The direction—outward or inward—leads each squarely
To their heart :: answering the inquisitive
With parabolic questions designed to provoke
Further enquiry.
To think there is an answer’s
a rookie error, indeed, almost a joke
To filter out the serious from the chancers.
The best you get is probability:
On this alone proceed, calculating
(Each according to ability)
How meaning’s interwoven with relating.
At length, when questions fail – obedience
Is the only pathway that makes sense.
