Bon Voyage, Jan!

A good friend of mine is off to Taiwan for a very special tea tour this weekend.  I'm looking foward to vicariously experiencing the trip through her eyes and know she’ll have many photos and stories when she returns.  Hopefully, she'll be willing to share some of them with readers of this blog.

Here’s a poem for Jan, to send her on her way.

 

Passing a Mountain Hamlet in Late Spring Perchance

In this mountain hamlet
Of handful houses watered by a streamlet
Damsels were merrily picking tea fresh
From the east to the west!
Strolling on a stone lane,
Wondering why I left foot prints light and faint.
Not knowing all over the sky,
Pine flowers were flying high.

Wu Zao
c. 1799 - c. 1862

Wow!! I've never had a poem sent just for me before, it's a great attitude builder (of excitement)

Thank you
