What if one day in your life, you lost your path? Then in a chance encounter, you met a hermit. He approached you with the following questions below. What will be your reply?
You, who wandered through the surface of soil,
Have you cleaned your feet before you walked?
Have you offered some goods to the oldest grove?
And did you kiss the floor first before you go?
You, who breathed the breath of the winds,
How was the breeze in the rural frontiers?
Did you like smoking the mint of the province?
And what can you say about its morning mists?
You, who discovered the fountain of youth,
Have you felt relieved when you bathed so smooth?
Did its gentle waves ever relax your mind and soul?
And did it heal all your scarlet scars and open wounds?
You, who blustered about the sun’s heat,
Why did you choose to be so indignant and feisty?
Did you forget about the virtue of love and patience?
Please be calmed and wary of how your actions can hurt me.
