Description
Vespers
The only true wisdom
lives far from mankind,
out in the great loneliness,
and it can be reached
only through suffering.
Privation and suffering alone
can open the mind of a man
to all that is hidden to others.
Igjugarjuk
Caribou Eskimo shaman

Some would argue that man brings his own suffering upon himself by clinging to "things" or being unable to let go...but I happen to agree with your quote here. I've always thought that pain and suffering are our great teachers. This is a very powerful and evocative image. F/V
