I am in darkness at the foot of a great mountain, searching for a precious jewel. Then I look up at the shinning mountain peak.
If the jewel is to be found, it must be at the top.
I climb and climb, beginning my arduous journey that takes me many years.
At least I reach my journeys end. I stand bathed in the bright light.
My eyesight is clear now, yet the jewel is nowhere to be found.
I look upon the valley far bellow, where I started my journey many years ago.
Only then do I realise that that the jewel had always been within me,
even then, and that the light had always been shinning.
Only my eyes had been closed.
