  Be a Monk  
 
As I read the news my fellow Monks posted on my board, I saw some confusion, I saw some hope, and I Saw.. this.. It is hard to express what I see a Monk as, but someone put most of my thoughts to words.  Knowledge is shared, Wisdom and Understanding are your own.

The ways of a Monk...

Discovering, opening bewildered eyes to everything around you, trying to catch's knowledge very essence.

On our feet, we go through mountains and rivers, to the very end of the Earth in search of lands yet unseen and treasurers undiscovered yet.

We travel and we watch... We watch that young peasent here who could be one day one of the finest poets...

Or that almighty warrior who is searching something to fight for, something to shield and love.

We write stories about our travels and what we learned from them, every story brings something to share.

Ahhh... The nights standing near a campfire, listening to the Barbarians' legends or the Muses' latest poem.

Go now my dear friend, take a spear with you, to protect you from harm, pack up your things and open up your heart...

Go where the river is born and where the Earth realeses her anger, go and learn, go and teach...

Follow the path of Love but more than anything follow your own path...

And then one day come back to us, the ones that love you so much...

Come back and share, come back and teach us...

Be a Monk.
