Searching

Where is Truth?

I've spent a lifetime searching.
I've walked the plains.
I've swum great rivers.
I've scaled sheer cliffs.
I've struggled through the swamps.
Truth is in no one place it seems.

I sought the counsel of the wise.
I fasted in the desert.
I confessed to the priests.
I listened to the trees with the Druids.
I slaughtered the innocent with the Evil.
Truth is in no one act it seems.

I stood back and observed the nature of Man.
I saw those who saw no Truth, regardless of the proof before them.
I saw those who claimed to know Truth, but knew only whispers.
I saw those who claimed there is only one Truth.
I saw those who claimed that there is no Truth at all.

Truth eludes me yet.
All my searching has yielded but one clue.
When I think on all I've seen and done I know this one thing.
Truth begins in the mirror.

Penned by my hand on the 1st of Lupar, in the year 392 AF.
