Full name: Zanna Samsara Gender: Female Age: 20 Eyes: Blueish/Violet Hair: Midnight black Birthplace: Wilderenss but moved to Buya Birth Season: Summer To read this allows you to see into my past.. The hut was small but it kept us warm. The food was not a five-course meal, but it kept our tummies full and we past no hunger. These are just a few of my past memories that are not a total blur. The wilderness was my home for many moons and I walked it daily like a ritual. I would spend many hours under the tree and watched nature pass by. I would sit in silence, eyes closed and just listened. My memories of my parents aren't very clear, but I do remember the love and warm feelings *sighs as memories begin to fade yet again* One day, many yuris ago, my journey took me way past my tree and into a new unknown area. I heard voices and saw lanterns in the distance. As I got closer, I could make out a small sign with the name of this new area. It said "Welcome to Buya" Buya? Hmm.. I decided to walk around for a bit and see what was new. As I walked, I noticed about 6-7 people sitting, with eyes closed, in total silence, just listening. I stood there for a while soaking in the site of pure silence and calmness. I continued on my way and entered a little hut and encounterd a little old woman. Her name was Yunsil. She welcomed me in and offered me a nice cup of tea which I accepted since I had been walking for so long with no food or anything to drink. I sat with her near the roaring fire for seemed like hours and then decided it was time to head home. When I finally reached my little hut, I realized that my parents were not there and figured they had gone out to gather herbs and berries. Hours went by. Hours turned into days, days into weeks. I would scavenge around for food daily while I waited for my parents to return. They never came home. A few yuris had passed and herbs and berries around me had become scarce and I had to relocate for more food. My heart broke as I prepared to depart from the place I called home. I would never know what had become of my parents *sighs* I returned back to Buya and decided to revisit Yunsil and see if she could help me adjust here in this new world. She agreed for she had no children of her own and did not wish to be alone anymore, just as I. Days, weeks and months went by a little hard at first, since I longed for my mother's kisses and father's hugs. I began to sit more and more, alone, in silence, eyes closed and would just listen. When my heart had semi healed from the past, I decided to join the others, whom I still watched while they sat in silence, eyes closed, just listening. Listened to nature, to the winds and to their hearts beat. I felt at ease, I felt at peace when I would do this. I felt like nothing could go wrong, like everything was as it should be. Yunsil spoke to me of these she called Monks. She spoke to me of their ways and I realized that this was how I should be living. Not wandering alone and with no direction. To speak of my past would leave you with many gaps but what I can tell you is I feel my future holds many new ways for me and I know they will be positive and will benefit while helping others along with myself. |
