'All material possessions will be lost.'

The stone tower stands perched at the edge of a mountainous cliff, a stone wall at its base. Winding up through the mists from the valley below, a curving and treacherous path ascends to its heights. Any who would take this path would certainly risk a fall. There is no other evidence of civilization or society in view. No guards or citizens appear. What is this tower, and what does it guard or conceal?

The tower is a place where we store up material possessions, thinking that we can keep them safe. But, the tower is in danger of crumbling with age. We must abandon its apparent strength and safety and take the narrow path into the valley of the spirit of love, which is the only thing that will truely last.
