I was walking behind an old woman
... (following Wisdom personified)
through a magic forest.
... (the realm of mythology and talismans)
The path was steep.
... (there is much to learn and it is difficult to understand, but notice that this is in the past tense!)
She walked faster and faster
... (the learning process escalates)
around the many bends.
... (even though it is complex)
Finally we crossed the pass
... (Gabi & Wisdom "cross the pass" - understanding the whole of the complexity)
and there it was.
... (the imagery is revealed, manifest)
