At home, I enjoy new rice wine brewed in the mountains and boiled chicken fresh from our yard. My children laugh and pull on our clothes. We embrace our comforts— drinking, singing, and dancing. It’s too late to call for horses to search for distant glory. But it’s not the first time that I’ve left home. In the morning, my heart lighter, I leave for the capital. Maybe I was born to serve and not to hide at home.
