bought them on 31 0f Dec 2009
settled down
at the praying altar
then moved on outside
during Chinese New Year
till this week
dad conveyed the thought
of delivering the horses elsewhere
because my late grandpa used to advise
not to keep them at home
only temple will keep such animals statutes
hence
we sent them away
the final bath
then we realized
actually they look best
standing among the greens
where to?
a better home for them
a newly established
well… is temple the right word to use?
a Buddhist centre
safeguarding the Buddhist centre
by the fountain
with water flow, green grass and sunlight
hope they will adapt to the new environment
real soon
but somehow
it feels weird
when I walk out of the main gate
without seeing them there
ever again
the empty space
but isn’t it an happy ending
- for us: adhering to what grandpa said, even much later after he passed away
- for the horses: sharing their chatter time and joyfulness with the public
- for the horses: (according to dad) learning proper Buddhism education
- for the centre: getting a pair of welcoming mascots
