How I found my way to the Monk way of life
An excerpt in the life of Chic


I was born in Buya in the fourth year of King M'hul's reign. I was never seen as a troubled child in my youth, I found that I preferred to spend my time reading much more than stirring up trouble. I spent most of my days in the Kugnea library absorbing as much information about the world in which I reside as I could. As I got older, around the age of 17, I started to read about the Monks and their teachings.

From what I read I learned about the importance of meditation and balance, and I begun to integrate those teachings into my life. Always trying to stay centered even when life threw challenges at me. The biggest challenge was when my mentor, Kei'li, died. When I begun to greave my first reaction was anger. I felt the hatred boil inside me, consuming me. That was when I realized that anger only breeds more anger, and hatred only breeds more hate. From that day I decided that I would try to walk the path of a Monk, centered and balanced in all things. I want to strive to be as peaceful and positively influential as I possibly can.

And this is where I turn to you Sensei Dansom.
