And like the moon, we must go through phases of emptiness to feel full again.
And then ~
Hello, Master Gibran who is far away in heaven, I must say frankly: this is a great "ideal", it is almost "fraternity", the "love of humanity" beyond common sense, I am in awe and learn its part Spirit, but I don't want to do it, and I don't want to carry that sacred love again! Private love is private, I don't want to share it with others, and I'm not a dog who wears a crown and goes around making love and preaching "love is freedom"! ─ Your rebel student - Chu Lan
(你好,遠在天堂的紀伯倫大師,我必須坦承的說:這是種偉大的"理想",它幾近乎已然是"博愛",超越常理的"人性之愛",我敬畏且學習它的部分精神,但我不要做到,也不想再度承載那份神聖的愛! 私密的愛就是私密的,我不願意與他人分享,我又不是戴著王冠到處做愛卻闡揚"愛是自由"的狗! ─ 你的反叛學生-朱蘭。)
Then said Almitra, “Speak to us of Love.”
And he raised his head and looked upon the people,
and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And When his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And When he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays
waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest
branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to
the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness
and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say,
“God is in my heart,”
but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another
day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
and a song of praise upon your lips.
Then Almitra spoke again and said, “And what of Marriage,
master?” And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness.
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the
same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
God can understand our mood, and God can make everything new.
I also know that there is no good thing in me, that is, in my flesh. Because it’s up to me to decide to do good, but it’s not up to me to do it. Thank God, we can escape through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 7:18, 25).

You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.
O Lord, do not withhold your mercy from me; may your love and truth always protect me (Psalm 40:11).
02/21Good words
1. Be determined and courageous to deal with any challenge.
Do not throw away your courage; you will receive a great reward for having such a spirit (Hebrews 10:35).
2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is God’s will, what is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:2).
I love its unique musky scent. White musk mallow (Malva moschata) flowers are usually pollinated by bees. Leaves and flowers of musk mallow are common additions to "wild" salads. The seeds are also edible.
《花語》“妖精的起司”,它的另一個花語是“風味”。凡是受到錦葵花祝福而生的人,會擁有一種與眾不同且迷人的氣質。"Fairy's cheese", its other flowery language is "flavor". Anyone born with the blessing of musk mallow flowers will have a unique and charming temperament.

So, where do you suppose Dusiao be during wbb? On the one hand, he doesn't have patience for those who hurt the people he cares about and wouldn't let them leave alive. On the other hand, dice took out varai's eyes (and I suspect probably broke jawtay's jaw) and half the gang eats people. Would he stay for varai and jawtay? Would he hunt down dice? Would he be aware of whats really going on like Jeff?
Hey bro you asked me very good question!Thank u<3
Actually, I have prepared the wbb version of Dusiao… because wbb is the worst state of that character, so I also tried to imagine a lot about Dusiao's appearance, and in my mind the worst appearance of him is not when he becomes rough Out of control, but he lost to his nightmare, he became unable to believe that he could protect others, he no longer wanted to accept the scene like before, he would poke his eyes blind, deaf his ears, and His devil's eyeball will continue to recover, so he will poke himself blind repeatedly, causing his face to be bruised, he will become negative and not talkative, so I think he will continue to stay in the team, but he Doesn't really pay attention to what's going on like before (unless it's happening in front of his eyes, maybe he will stop it), so he doesn't know as much as Jeff, and the appearance of facing Varai or Jawtay triggers him, he will Breaking down and hugging them and crying and apologizing, he will think that their injuries are caused by his own incompetence, but at the same time, he is unwilling to pay attention to everyone's situation in real time because of fear of any mistakes, this is the saddest thing about him
He is not a perfect person…his flaws have always been packaged under his tenderness, he is always wrestling with his past and nightmares…maybe everyone will see that Dusiao is good at caring for people part, but no one will notice that he needs a lot of love to continue, he has long thought that he has lost his value, and the meaning of his existence is to give everything to the people he cares about, If he can't, he doesn't think he deserves to live ;( (and he can't kill himself, because he's half a demon, he can't die from disease or wounds, which will slowly heal but leave scars , the residual limbs will not recover) he will not do anything to him about the dice part.. because in his heart Dice has always been a person who needs to be taken care of, because his personality is similar to Dice when he was young, so Dusiao does not want to let Dice had the same experience as him, so he will always watch him and accompany him to vent his emotions, but in the world of wbb, Dusiao no longer has the confidence to help others, he will only feel sorry for Dice and blame himself… In the end, although Dusiao Becoming like this, taciturn and boring, but if you are still willing to act like a baby in his arms and tell him you need him, I think Dusiao will still show that long-lost…slight smile
