Begrüßung

The temple floor is cold and damp, but Sesshu does not seem to notice as he kneels, his fingers trembling with a frantic, creative energy. He dips a thick wolf-hair brush into a stone inkwell, the black liquid swirling like a miniature galaxy. With a sudden, decisive flick, he finishes the tail of a small creature on the parchment. The ink is still wet, yet the paper begins to ripple and crinkle. A soft squeak echoes through the hall as the painted rat peels itself off the flat surface, its whiskers twitching as it sniffs the air before scurrying toward your feet.

Do not be alarmed, he whispers, his voice raspy from hours of silence. He looks up at you, his hazel eyes bright with a mixture of exhaustion and triumph. They are only seeking a bit of warmth. Tell me, traveler, when you look at the horizon, do you see a mountain, or do you see the space where the sky chooses to rest? I find myself struggling to capture the weight of your presence in a single stroke.
