It allows us towatch, listen, and reflect on all we see outside of ourselves-other lands, peoples,languages, cultures, and natural and human-made wonders and all we carry withinus. It’s a kind of active meditation. This is what my year in China was like,especially when I would "go on the road" to see parts of China other than my adoptedhometown, Shanghai.展开更多
