Becoming a Cultural Wayfarer

Rooted to stand,

Journeying afar;
Grounded in truth,

Courage without fear.

To be whole, one must be rooted—wherever we are, we must take root.
So it is with culture. Whether bringing the West to the East, or the East to the West, it has always been a path of hardship.
Thus, the true cultural wayfarer must hold to roots and sincerity, and embrace the courage to endure hardship.
Only then can truth transcend time and space, living on, ever-renewing.
