Even in our solitude, we are not apart from the vast web of life.

in these turbulent days of potential civil war
I find myself drawn more often to read Tu Fu
my feelings of travel, exile, and seeking refuge
echoed in his poems of refugee life and daily enlightenment

The river makes a bend and encircles the village with its current. All the long Summer, the affairs and occupations of the river village are quiet and simple. The swallows who nest in the beams go and come as they please. The gulls in the middle of the river enjoy one another, they crowd together and touch one another. My old wife paints a chess-board on paper. My little sons hammer needles to make fish-hooks. I have many illnesses, therefore my only necessities are medicines. Besides these, what more can so humble a man as I ask?
