Still, woodland clearing
geese rise, through millennia,
when the season calls
our steps quicken to beat dusk
our short breath puffs of white mist

You have reached a quiet bamboo grove, where you will find an eclectic mix of nature, music, writing, and other creative arts. Tao-Talk is curated by a philosophical daoist who has thrown the net away.

Yes, it was them calling that got my attention. Not easy to see them through the trees but I followed them as far as I could with the phone camera :) Thank you.
