"Sometimes the spiritual path is like
an ascending spiral.
Though you may revisit each place along the way,
you are forever pulled higher.
This is called understanding.
Sometimes the spiritual path is like
a descending spiral.
Though you may revisit each place along the way,
you are pulled ever deeper.
This is called wisdom.
Forgiveness is a walk up and down the spiral.
It is a never-ending path."
