I would title this [ personally ]     RUSTIC CHARM

You know friends - over the course of [ what I term ] my ' Chinese garden literati scholar sinology;' 

I have been called ' charlatan ' - accused of being ' inclined to one race '

' persecuted ' and ' rejected ' openly for my advocacy.....

However - let me just say, that if You give up on Your dreams and hopes ?

for what a humbling experience, a privilege, a rich reward, a spirituality, a better understanding and numerous friendships that have resulted.

          Who else do You expect to fulfill them ?
