I'd say you lead a charmed life if you hadn't gone out a third story window. No wonder leading an exciting life is considered a curse.

When fear rears it's ugly head before you, sometimes you must run, sometimes you must hide and sometimes you just walk right up and smite the S%*t out of it.

“Demons run when a good man goes to war.
Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies.
Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war.”

A man who like myself has been seen many times in many places told me this.

Are you back or just here for a visit?

Should we welcome you back, Shang Li? I myself am too new to this place to make it a significant statement, but I can try nevertheless.

Significant isn't determined by seniority, but by verbal eloquence - at least, that's how I see it.

Nice to see you're still alive, Master Shang.

That rules me out by that standard as well—I’m as eloquent as a petrified Ironwood stump.

Even ironwood has its place to be heard - usually when hitting something big and nasty over the head.

Perhaps we should gather for tea sometime soon.

I am alive, and in good health, although I am still no master.
I miss the friendships I developed here, but as my understanding of things grows, so do the demands on my time.


The desire to wish someone well is all that is needed for welcome.

I must go for now, I am needed in Tibet, and delay only allows my foes to become stronger.

Alas, but an old foe struggles free in the prison once built for him. I shall come to tea as soon as I am able.

”Better late than never” came to my mind why I read Shang’s post about needing to go to Tibet, but that cliché just sounds so . . . cold and unfeeling.

"A military man can scarcely pride himself on having 'smitten a sleeping enemy'; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack."
