Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together 360
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
—But who is that on the other side of you? 365

Still going through this poem, line by line and trying to grasp it all. I will implore my dear friend, Katie, to help me with what I cannot understand. I do know that there are many references to lines from the Bible and also many famous romantic interludes...I am fascinated and was prompted to read this by a schizophrenic I recently engaged outside of work on my lunch break. God works in many mysterious ways and gives me so many lessons to learn, always in passing I can dismiss the initial intention, but after looking back, then the lesson is revealed.
