While reposing on a huge rock on the moon, Joseph observed the earth in all its blue splendour. He speculated that truth is similar in nature. When one observes it from a good distance, it appears complete, impressive, whole but rather far away.
So, with a slight but lighting fast gesture he got his wings in flight-position and set of to fly to that place where truth looked so enticing and alluring. As he drew nearer to the truth, it became ever more imposing, and many before-unseen details emerged into his consciousness. It was too exciting, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he realized that he would need to travel hither and dither using his wings, feet, the bus and taxis just to enable him to take all of the the truth details in. At each point that he decided to repose, he found people occupying a small piece of this huge space, and he spoke to many.
Yet, trying to converse with these good folks about truth, was totally impossible as the conversation never went beyond the little space the occupant regarded as his little world.
So, Joseph took wing again and soared toward the heaven. As he flew higher and higher, he at some point realized that, because of his preoccupation, he had flown right past the moon, and that the earth as truth was receding further and further away from the newer perspectives he was exposed to.
Soon the earth and the moon had become indistinguishable from the other stars and planets in the universe he now had become aware of around him.
Still he flew and flew, the universes receded into the background, each with its own truth within truth, within truth.
Then, just as he was about to give up - thinking that there was no ulimate truth to be found, he came to realize that his wings had given him the power to visit any of the endless truths that he could perceive in his wide travels - that the truth lay not in finding it at some place but rather in his ability to fly and touch every star and planet that he wished to. Then he also knew why had been given his wings - they made the reality available to his wish for experiencing meaning...
