White Tigress
“To express your courage inwardly is to encounter life.
The celestial Tao does not push, yet it overcomes everything.
It does not speak, yet it acknowledges all.
It does not provoke, yet it cooperates.
It is quiet in its methods, yet always effective.
—Tao Te Ching ~ Chapter 20 "It wasn't what I thought." Lydia swallowed, pulling her knees in tighter to her chest even as she curled closer to Ru Shan. "I thought... I don't know what I thought. Angels with wings? A palace with a white throne?" She shook her head. "They were all there, and yet it was nothing like I expected." "And so much more," Ru Shan whispered. "So much—" "More," she echoed.
She frowned in frustration. There were no words to express their experience. Everything was inadequate, and yet Ru Shan understood. He knew what she meant.
Beauty. Joy. Love, all encompassing and total. Infinite. Amazing. She and Ru Shan had said all these words, and yet none of them were right. None of them fit. And yet they all did. It all was.
