Waiting

Better go back to sheltering in the shadow of the tomb.....until a shadow falls upon me or Death on his winged steed tramples me to fragments.

Abandon hope all who enter here.

Yuletide

All paths lead somewhere.

Li Po
Green Mountain

You ask me why I dwell in the green mountain;
I smile and make no reply for my heart is free of care.
As the peach-blossom flows down stream
and is gone into the unknown,
I have a world apart that is not among men.
