TN the heart OF the ruined city OF

was green and flourishing when the
giant redwoods OF California were
saplings. when the Windsor oak was
still an acorn. 1t Is the famous 30
tree OF the Buddhists. a branch OF the

the shedding even OF monkeys blood
in the sacred shadow OF the tree, so
the tiny animals swing and chatter TO
their hearts content as they have
done for centuries. They seem to be
tiny priests themselves, as withered
and as aged as the more dignified
brothers
At the foot Of the tree a figure OF
Buddha sits with folded arms and far
of gaze. The crumbling image seems
to mediate over the general ruin about
him. The heavy scent OF the lotus
drifts through the forest like an in
cense before a shrine.
