Thirty-eighth Lotus

[The writing's a little shaky at first, but it regains its normal strength quickly.]

I know what the Wilderness is. Where, I mean. The elevator took me there once. It is my home.

I do not know who the people on the mountain are. And I have not yet found where I might have lived. But I know this place.

[Now his writing gets a little excited.]

My students! Those whom I am teaching! Let us meet in the Wilderness for classes and I will teach you where I have taught before! It is fitting!

[Added a few moments later, as it occurs to him.]

I am sorry to those who were worried when I was put in the sand. I am all right now.
