Loup, Bescherelles

Prince of the low fields, Luisetaines

The Prince finds a magic stick.

The land rolls on for miles dry and golden.

In the distance is Champagne and "la central" nuclear power station, innocently billowing out beautiful white clouds.

Taoist Temple, Qingdao China

This is the oldest Tao temple in the world.
It is simply incredible.

We touch gently the two thousand year old trees, we imagine they are magic and they become magic.

At the edge of sight monks glide serenely in long blue robes.

A beautiful girl offers a prayer, simultaneously texting.

Mother Wolf close, Qingdao

Something happened on the road.
Wasn't expecting it.

Found the heavy bag in the old barn.
Took the reflex bow down from the wall
Didn't touch the bottle today.

Things are changing now.
Finally time to wake up.

Blue tower, Qingdao Eastern China

East, far away, above the yellow sea

We are well met, and feasted

treated as traveller kings, 

and shown such relentless wonders and kindness

that on our return it seems as if it were all perhaps dreamt
