Inner Vision

Those who squint can see. The Way opens to the mountain people hidden in the shadow. Look at things from an independent perspective. This is the penultimate step. When this is complete nothing can stop you. You feel you have lost something precious but do not pursue it. It will return of itself. These goings and comings release the energy now bound up in the past. Step outside the norms. Gather energy for a decisive new move.

But she does not lost the inner light of loyalty. Thought the other eye is gone, she maintains her loyalty even in loneliness.
