You ask me why I stay in these blue mountains. I smile but I do not answer. O, my mind is at ease! Peach blossoms and flowing streams pass without a trace, How different from the mundane world!
~Li P'o (701-762)
I want to go back.
Current Mood:crazy and confused and weird.
Current Music:Currawongs through the gum trees in the morning mist.
I saw sugar gliders at a pet store recently. I thought to myself, "No. They should be free." Especially considering PJ's Pet Store has a bad reputation for keeping pets in cramped dirty conditions, so when you buy them they're already on the road to dying from various illnesses.
More mountain Haiku.

風のかけたる
しがらみは
流れもあへぬ
紅葉なりけり
-春道列樹
In a mountain stream
There is a wattled barrier
Built by the busy wind.
Yet it's only maple leaves,
Powerless to flow away.
-Harumichi no Tsuraki
I don't blame you for wanting to go back.
