The Crossing

Hsia Shu Kwei, long before she became Grandma Leu.

The Crossing

About to launch my loaded canoe,

Geared now for the upwind crossing,

Three things only do I assure,

I am not afraid of dying,

I am not ready yet to yield,

I will be with you all again,

Beyond this hard and beautiful journey.

– Ned Sharples (1934-1996)
