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

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.”
