time rides a strong horse

dragons wait along the path

footsteps wound the dust

patience has no pride

no one asks to be redeemed

choices honor life

This is one to print out and tack onto to my work space, computer or refrigerator. Thanks for the insight, Mr. C. I'm kinda reminded of "Kung Fu," especially with the dust.

I love the Indonesian language. One of the things I love about it it is the fact they don't use "I" in a sentence the way we Americans do. The other thing is just the way you would say some things, like "Duduki cursi" which means very literally "inflict yourself upon the chair" instead of sit down. Anywhooooo, yep, that's part of what your words conjured up.

Thank you all for reading and taking time to comment! I appreciate it.

ST: about 20 minutes, but I don't look at them as mine, I think the words were already on the chair when I sat on it...like a cat that doesn't want to give up its seat.

Very deep and I agree totally.

Wisdom offered in drops of beauty.

Love,
