Up Past Yu Xiang TempleAbove, behind temple complex stone path leads back into woods path so steep exertion takes you forget you’re climbing just there on the mountain step after step contours of your feet contours of the stone little grotto carved out to get stone for the path no figure in there just raw rock from small tree above some roots hanging down natural place of worship on up and up quiet dappled shade tree break cloudless sky breath taking sunlit sweep release calm ease in-breath mountain greenery out-breath blue expanse flat broad outcropping rock near the mountaintop place to sit next to Yunnan pine few moments rest breathing in airy leeway breathing out mountain mass sit and just look sit and look no trace of man left only trees projecting rock mountain peaks
