Knowledge of the sort you need does not begin with information,
it begins with experience and perception.
But there is a dark and twisty road
from experience and perception to correct action.

XXV

Coyoté rested by the road.
Somewhere ahead, Owl flew forward into the wind's blowing dust.
The sun, a reddish blur beyond the dust billowing before him.

Coyoté thought he saw Owl fly past boulders ahead
where the road curved south.
He got up and moved slowly to follow into that gritty haze.
He pulled his bandana tighter, trying to stifle the grit finding
paths toward his nostrils.

Owl looked back
and only saw a dust cloud.
No sign of Coyoté. He's not keeping up!
But Owl knew to not doubt Coyoté's skill
at finding a shortcut.

What infuriated Owl
wasn't the finding the shortcut.
It was Coyoté's inability to explain how
he found that path, that easy path.

Owl looked ahead
and only saw a dust cloud,
and headwind pushing him back.
With anger, he flew forward,
knowing that Coyoté would find an easy path.

Coyoté rested by the road.
Then he turned south.
Why not face the wind now
and hope it subsides
before he heads sideways to it
and it slips grit in
around the bandana.
