Beneath the Sky

Beauty's Bulwark
What sort of flower needs the protection Of a slightly ridiculous, plumed knight? From what deranged imagination Came this preposterous, floral fight?

**Murmur**
In twilight’s gentle, fleeting grace, A whisper stirs the evening’s lace, Soft murmurs in the evening breeze,

**Our Rest**
In the hush of twilight’s glow, Where gentle night winds softly blow, We find a quiet place to lay, Our weary hearts and minds at bay.

Journey to the West
"Journey to the West" is an extraordinary piece of literature, written several centuries ago, yet its brilliance lies in the fact that it offers something new to every reader at different stages of life. For many Chinese, the first encounter with this classic comes in childhood through adaptations into television shows or movies. As children, we are often captivated by the character of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, who seems incredibly powerful and cool. His ability to cause chaos in the heavenly palaces, even overpowering an army of 100,000 celestial soldiers, is thrilling to watch. At that age, we admire the rebellious, free-spirited monkey who can take on the gods themselves.

GOD LOVES US
**A Shepherd's Care** Like sheep within a fold, we stray, Sometimes lost, upon our way. But Thou, our Shepherd, kind and true, Dost guide and guard us through and through.
