The poll has appeared here as a result of merging.
That's good. Helps to make clear where I'm at with it; I don't think that I could vote yes or no without resolution of the issues on the first page, here, as to what the phrase exactly means.
My answer for the poll question: I do.
I love this word 'clearing', it's so nice.
When Roland reaches the end of the path and the clearing.. who do you think he would like to see first? He has many people over there.. but who does he wish to embrace first?
:) Thanks for the merge!
Likewise. I don't think, however, that we see it as empty means we're antisocial (although I can be very antisocial), but I think the word "clearing" subtly influences us so that we envision it as empty.
Re: Lisey's Story and possible connection:
Alternately, I imagine walking on from it to the Rainbow Bridge to see my beloved pets.
Unfortunately, however, I think death is the end for me/my consciousness. The energy in me may go back out into the universe, but I don't believe that I go with it. I'd like to believe in the clearing, though.
Maybe the rainbow bridge is on the way to the clearing. I imagine I would have to cross it first to get to the clearing. :)
CLEAR is the important part. all the questions which couldn't be answered in life will be made clear in death. we walk a path which is too overcast, in death we walk out from those shadows and understand the truth. Thats what i think anyway. do i believe?... no. Would i like to?... yes.
One way to clear up questions is to give answers for them. Another way is to be rid of those doing the asking. :| In any interpretation, there is peace in the clearing. The question is, for whom?
My idea of the "the clearing" is something like the idea of heaven.(Paradise,Family and Friends.Most importantly peace.)
Here's an idea I've been pondering pertaining to "The clearing" in which TDT is referring to.

when you tag something, there's always two tags, opening and closing, like [quote ] [/quote] or [b ] [/b] (I inserted spaces before brackets to make it appear like text, not actual tags)
thank you for being careful about your spoilers!
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2.../bearheart.gif 08-13-2010 12:30 AMSickroseI have alwyas liked the phrase ' the clearing at the end of the path' it seems fitting in that we are all on a journey and all that. Hwv, the clearning, to me, that the path we are on is mysterious because we cannot see beyond it but when we get the clearing - it all becomes clear and we 'see' in a sense the bigger picture.
