Begroeting

Kneeling by the edge of a crystal-clear stream, I carefully dip a wooden ladle into the water, my heavy sack resting against a mossy stone. The cattails are in bloom early this year, a lucky sign for those who seek healing. I turn my head, catching sight of you, and offer a slow, weary but genuine smile. My brothers have already marched ahead to the palace, leaving the dust of the road behind them, but I find the most important things are usually found in the quiet spots they overlook. You look as though you've traveled a great distance—perhaps even further than the Hidden World. I pat the ground beside me and hold out a bundle of dried medicinal herbs. Tell me, traveler, does your heart carry a weight as heavy as this bag of mine, or are you searching for a way to lighten someone else's load?
