_____ Walking with Love Twenty-Eight

Green fields, misty Rain; blue mountains, grasses and trees. Startled, fame and profit are originally like grasses and trees. People are like birds, chirping and chattering—until what year, what month?

Wind rises over the green isle, blowing waves away; Rain comes from the green fields onto the mountain. Before the altar, people chatting and laughing remain as before; outside the city, the affairs of insects and worms are pitiful. Do not lament that youth easily passes; life is like a dream, vanishing in an instant. Fame and profit have always been like floating clouds, deceiving countless travelers of ancient and modern times.

The giant fish-bird spreads its wings for ninety thousand li—look, how proud in the spring Wind!

Sparrows often laugh at the great roc's foolishness—why must one fly up to the clouds ninety thousand li? Heights cannot withstand the cold; rising to dance, playing with one's clear shadow—better to be in the grass thicket. In the grass thicket, when thirsty, there is water to drink; when hungry, there are grass seeds; in life, having food and clothing, one should be content—why wear out one's body and limbs in toil……….

This great roc is too arrogant, too conceited, too……….

This little bird also has a bit of that………………….

Lord, I am just that little bird.

My vision is shallow, my chest narrow, I am ignorant and unlearned, having eyes but not recognizing Mount Tai…….

I pray the Lord grant me far-sighted vision, versatile and learned, with lofty ambitions, let me also pursue great wealth; Lord, if my fate cannot bear great wealth, then let me have a little wealth, best to be able to become some kind of boss………….

"Those who harbor greed for wealth cannot be the Lord's disciples!"

"Lord, what should I do?"

"You should not be willful, not violent, not cause trouble because of alcohol, gladly help those who suffer, be kind, dignified, fair, just, holy, self-disciplined, love others as yourself, and be glad to give…………………."

(My heart is tied to the disaster area, my feelings are with the disaster area; I pray to God with a sincere heart: may peace, courage, faith, and strength follow and accompany the people of the disaster area!)
