Leslie's gulge of Eastern Oregon's High Desert




INTO THE GREEN Thirsty and footsore, as you walk in the heat of the day Sudden disasters come out of the sky, out of nowhere — Like a bird whose nest has plummeted out of a tree To find yourself in peace, go deep into the wilderness.

SPEEDING The man’s in a hurry and the horses are in danger on the road, To lose a company of soldiers means you’re both in trouble It’s like a broken vessel, blown through the rushing gorge... Sunlight fades the blossoms, and Heaven sends down frost.

PRESENCE Don t you understand that everything here is what matters? To find the jade, go beyond the boundaries of your skin — You can’t do better than wait for the chun to manifest, I tell you, this is the best thing — no question about it.
