Her cheeks were flushed. She caught hold of the Savage's arm and pressed it, limp, against her side. He looked down at her for a moment, pale, pained, desiring, and ashamed of his desire. He was not worthy, not... Their eyes for a moment met. What treasures hers promised! A queen's ransom of temperament. Hastily he looked away, disengaged his imprisoned arm.

The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes.
And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.

Go with the flow, but pray God keeps you afloat.
