Shao Leeroy Posted August 22, 2015 Greetings, earthlings. Just wandering on the way here. Observing and doing. My background is in the usual... reading Dao De Jing & Zhuangzi... practicing taijiquan, xingyiquan, baguazhang, & yiquan... doing neidan and zhan zhuang... and so on. Have a bit of a strange sense of humor, so when in doubt, just assume I am joking. Thank you to all the admins and folks for making this space inhabitable.Best wishes, ~ Jeff 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shao Leeroy Posted August 26, 2015 DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON From a pot of wine among the flowers I drank alone. There was no one with me -- Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon To bring me my shadow and make us three. Alas, the moon was unable to drink And my shadow tagged me vacantly; But still for a while I had these friends To cheer me through the end of spring.... I sang. The moon encouraged me. I danced. My shadow tumbled after. As long as I knew, we were boon companions. And then I was drunk, and we lost one another. ...Shall goodwill ever be secure? I watch the long road of the River of Stars. ~ Li Po (701 - 762 AD) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
