You know the story of the Three Wise Men of the East,
and how they traveled from far away to offer their
gifts at the manger-cradle in Bethlehem. But have you
ever heard the story of the Other Wise Man, who also
saw the star in its rising, and set out to follow it,
yet did not arrive with his brethren in the presence of
the young child Jesus? Of the great desire of this
fourth pilgrim, and how it was denied, yet accomplished
in the denial; of his many wanderings and the
probations of his soul; of the long way of his seeking,
and the strange way of his finding, the One whom he
sought—I would tell the tale as I have heard fragments
of it in the Hall of Dreams, in the palace of the Heart
of Man.
