SUSEYA

The portage philosophy

We are here because there is no refuge
finally from ourselves
until a person confronts himself in the eyes and hearts of others
he is running
until he suffers them to share his secrets he has no safety from them
afraid to be known he will know neither himself nor any other
he will be alone
wherelse but on this common ground can we find such a mirror
here at last a person can appear clearly to himself
not as the giant of his dreams nor the dwarf of his fears
but as a man, part of a whole with his share in its purpose
on this common ground we can each take root and grow
not alone anymore as in death
but alive to ourselves and to the others

We are not alone
we are not alone...
