The vent of the hot spring fountain
becomes narrower
as a lime-like matter adheres to it
I was lucky to see how he cleans it on a regular basis
Next morning, I saw the fountain was stretching to the sky
through Dragon Hole
During the 1/2 month I was staying at the inn
the owner came back by motorcycle twice
with an alive pit viper in his hand
On the way home
with his bike loaded with stuff
he finds a pit viper
sneaks up on the snake and without getting off his motorbike
softly steps on it so it does not escape
trying not to turn the bike over
While he keeps it alive
and tries not to let it escape
he grabs it with a hand carefully so it does not bite him
then ride in the dirt with one hand
to home.
He is the
master
Zen monk
Tengu
and the owner of the inn
in this mountain
this valley
and the nature here
