Several proposals to cure my affliction arose and what was certain is that this visage was not chosen by fate itself. I had shaven Nokt immediately, there was no reason not to take his beard if it could help. When the sun was at the right spot in the skies, I went to see Chung Ryong and paid my respects. With his blessing I concocted a soap with the beard and washed myself in the clear blue waters. Just in time to receive a conductive /|\ branded on Nature's skin. Noh~ *when you turn the note around you find a poem* <b>Divination by Waters of the Azure Dragon The pretty boy was shaved, His pride laid bare to blade and breeze. No wound was felt, yet all had changed A hush like dew on plumwood trees. Then Chung Ryong stirred the sacred stream, And bathed her in the mountain's gleam. The water laughed, the old scales sang: "Renewal comes when pride is wrung." From every strand that met the ground, A quiet truth began to sound: What's taken by the turning tide Leaves space for soul to bloom inside. So read this sign with open eye: What feels like loss may cleanse, not die. Shed vanity like springtime bark The dragon waits where waters spark. | |
