Seclusion Hill

Seclusion Hill                                                                                 
 
I climbed alone Seclusion Hill,
leaning into the strong winds
 
where You accomplished
Your Manonash work
                                                                                                     
in that little asbestos hut.
Annihilation of the Mind –
 
throne and root of all these problems.
O Beloved, it's Your strong winds
 
supporting me now.  They call out:
‘Climb the Hill within your chest.
 
Pare down from the Mind’s duplicity
to your one True Self.’   
 
O child of God, in deep seclusion He labored
that we might rise to true solitude.
