Does my past matter?
“Who takes the Linden Dale Road
takes a road that never ends
the rivers are long and piled with rocks
the streams are wide and chocked with grass
it’s not the rain that makes the moss slick
and it’s not the wind that makes the pines moan
who can get past the tangles of the world
and sit with me in the clouds”
Adaptation of a poem 32 by Cold Mountain 寒山 , translated by Red Pine
