Kyokan returned and caught him. “You may have come a long way to visit me, ” he told the prowler, “and you should not return empty-handed. Please take my clothes as a gift.”

What I wrote in the Christmas card to the Obama...
No, seriously. I signed their Christmas card. Because at the end of the year, everyone is a human. And everyone deserves a little something just to make sure we are all still in this together.
