For What&;#063;

What do you thirst for,
when your flask is so full?
What do you hunger for,
when your saddlebag has plenty?
What freedom's chains are bounding you
that you don't want to cast off.
What desire is slowing you down
that you won't let go of?
What "want" is closing you in
that you haven't built?

What do you fear
that you didn't make its nest in your heart?
What keeps you restless
that you didn't help burrow into your mind?

You've got an abundance of provisions.
The weather is favourable.
Visibility is clear.
The horizons are open.
Let go of the chains.
Enjoy the adventure
that you must endure,
with strength in passion
and peace in reason.
