Lot 66 of 100
The road is dangerous, the horse goes on, the person is far away
The poem
路險馬行人去遠失群羊困虎相當危灘船過風翻浪春暮花殘天降霜
In English
The road is dangerous, the horse goes on, the person is far away.The lost sheep is troubled with a tiger waiting.A perilous shoal, the boat passes, the wind whips the waves;late spring, the flowers fade, and frost falls from the sky.
What it says
The poem lists several hard images: a dangerous road, a lost sheep facing a tiger, a boat on perilous shoals, and frost falling on fading spring blossoms. It is a cautionary lot saying the present conditions are harsh. Take extra care, avoid going it alone, and do not blame yourself too much.
A thought to take with you
In harsh conditions, slow down, avoid going alone, and lean on companions.
