It's a journey ... that I propose ... I am not the guide .. . nor
technical assistant ... I will be your fellow passenger ...
Though the rail has been ridden ... winter clouds cover ...
autumn's exuberant quilt ... we must provide our own guide-
posts . . .
I have heard ... from previous visitors ... the road washes out
sometimes ... and passengers are compelled ... to continue
groping ... or turn back ... I am not afraid ...
I am not afraid ... of rough spots ... or lonely times ... I don't
fear ... the success of this endeavor ... I am Ra ... in a space
.. . not to be discovered ... but invented
I promise you nothing ... I accept your promise ... of the
same we are simply riding ... a wave ... that may carry ... or
crash ...
It's a journey ... and I want ... to go ...
--Nikki Giovanni
