THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[Mindy]

@fundamental design - Just because some searcher claims to have "found a hint in ttotc book that f mentions what exactly his hoB is" does NOT make it true. FF has told us the hints are in his stories ... the clues are in the poem. I seem to remember that FF also answered some woman on Jenny Kile's blog when she asked him if the clue places are in the book. He told her, " No."

For me, the 1st stanza is only an intro. The last stanza is the finale. No clues in either.

@Mindy - Begin it ... wwwh. Seems clear to me that "Begin" means to start.

@Becky — begin is a good starting word...but is it:

BEGIN

Begin IT

Begin it WHERE

BEGIN it WHERE WARM

Begin it WHERE WARM WATERS

Begin it WHERE WARM WATERS HALT

Begin it WHERE WARM WATERS HALT AND TAKE

And, as a thought:

Maybe the second stanza tells you what the first clue is, but that doesn’t necessarily tell you where to START.

Maybe the first stanza tells you where to find the answers to the clues, and the first clue is “Begin it where warm waters halt and take it in the canyon down...”

Maybe all the “supporting stanzas” tell you how to find the answers to the clue stanzas, and those should also be read and understood BEFORE the first clue can be solved...

In my opinion, this seems like a logical way to solve the poem. The WHOLE poem is important. Without the supporting stanzas, you’re lost in a sea of ambiguity, because there are way too many places where warm waters halt in the Rocky Mountain and probably thousands of homes of Browns— there HAS to be a way to determine the correct ones by interpreting the poem’s instructions precisely.

And in my opinion, the poem tells you where those answers are...
