The Treasure

"All my life," he said, "I have searched for the treasure.
I have sought it in the high places, and in the narrow.
I have sought it in the deep jungles, and at the ends
of rivers, and in dark caverns - and yet have not found it.

"Instead, at the end of every trail, I have found you
awaiting me. And now you have become familiar to me,
though I cannot say I know you well.

Who are you?"

And the stranger answered:

"Thyself."

-From an old tale.
