In his summer strolling from town to town To reach far off mountain and his new home Often a camaraderie he found, With teamster and farmers was not alone As moved across the ever rising ground. He came upon a priest at a old shrine Giving honor with incense and prayer, And in reverence he rested a time Till the priest’s chants where done this morning fair Asking to join him if he did not mind In silence of speech The noises of the world surrounds A far off hawk screech, Water rolling on the ground, Wind pushing white clouds The tops of mountains they crowd, Steps of two in steady beat. Bowing as they greet Farmers, merchants, and housewives Pauses as they meet To talk of and bless their lives, Distance tired feet He in orange robes still smiles Unaffected by the miles. Zhan Zhing has walked a month away from home, Talks with reflection to the orange robed priest, Then at the next town again walks alone, Though a different path he still has the peace, That inside him he in orange robe has shown Gloom |

I realized today why I like these so much.. It's because I want to be him... I awoke this morning thinking it would be nice not to worry about things...to just be happy and content... yep...I want to be him... he is real to me..  thank you for letting me live through him."cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
