Bodhi awakens alone and confused near the Gnostic Stone. He leaves the shelter and the previous day’s nightmare. Walking in contemplation, he encounters a small pond, upon which several white swans float, at the entrance of the Grove of the Greeks. One swan greets Bodhi: 

welcome, tibetan yak

to wisdom in this grove

where thinkers walk in quiet steps

and questions gently move

i saw you at the wedding

of wisdom bound with pride

i’m known as know thyself

and i will be your guide

Bodhi responds, warmly:

thank you for your kindness

and leading me this way

from hatred on the ridge above

i wandered here today

Know Thyself responds:

you came from terror

where frightened sheep bleed

yet seeds of logos planted here

grow thought beyond their creed

now rising through this grove

where reason learns to hear

the harmony of wonder’s voice

in love as well as fear

Bodhi interrupts by asking: 

what of fate, i ask

is all of this designed

by some divine intention

or chaos left behind

Know Thyself replies:

gods explain much comfort

or so the stories claim

but truth resists such certainty 

and will not wear a name

what we know is fragile

and harder to defend

for reason lights a path ahead

but not its final end

Zarathustra suddenly walks out of the grove and approaches with his lit lantern. Arriving, he speaks to Bodhi and gestures to the swans: 

do not be fooled by order

nor comfort found in proof

like those who rule the ridge

they build a fragile roof

where are the swans of shadow

of longing, fire, and ache

they also are part of living truth

not errors we must break

greeks facing their tragedies

some saw darkness as their art

for life is not a measured line

but tension in the heart

As Zarathustra runs back into the grove, another swan swims to Know Thyself and whispers in his ear. Know Thyself turns to Bodhi and says:

let us not linger 

the hour has begun

the court of thought awaits us

and judgment must be done

Know Thyself leads Bodhi into the grove until they arrive at a large, old justice building into which many swans are arriving.
