42402 Tan Renga

Some people spend their entire life trying to figure out various mysteries. I can brag that it took me only a decade. Not bad for an amateur, is it?

Forgiveness doesn’t bring oblivion. Understanding brings peace of mind and restlessness of soul. That’s how it goes in life. We move along the circle line.

who is it that grieves,
the wind blowing through his beard,
for late autumn?
