Four golden beetles
basking on a jade-colored leaf
along the stone stairs
to Jilongshan
made me
kiss
my camera.

Has the feel of Ryokan—21st century style–elegaic and angelic–the lightest of footprints exposed to the light.

Xie xie, jd. A high compliment. Here’s one that I love, but often forget, for you:
“Why do you so earnestly seek
the truth in distant places?
Look for delusion and truth in the
bottom of your own heart.”
