Visiting St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome
Jonathan is 14
We stand before
the mountains of the world,
and wonder
how we are supposed to climb them.
But it is
in climbing those mountains
that we reach the top
of the mountains of our inner truth.
We stand before the mountain
of our inner truth,
and we do not know
what it is we will do.
We only know
that it will be great.
