Help or hindrance?

time nor tide

By Peter RosePublished 12 months ago • 1 min read

Despite all the help I get,

In making way in world today.

Solving this, study that

Tracking this ,following that,

Racing ahead no standing still

Acting on all the news,

Catch all new trends,

The followers of fashion,

I am ahead by yards.

Or is my race just spent.

Nothing satisfying built.

The Meeting
READ "PART I" HERE: My third adventure outside the United States was to Putian, China (the second was with a college friend to London for Spring Break—a unique choice that I'll write about later). It wasn't exactly a study abroad opportunity, but I was still in college, and a philosophy professor recommended the experience to me. She knew I was interested in Eastern philosophy, focusing on Daoism, and thought a trip to a Buddhist temple in China might be up my alley. She was right.
