Trudging along with Ionos sitting on your shoulder you come cross the first sign of water for a long time. It is a vast lake with many islands in the middle. On the bed, many flowers bloom and boast of colours - red, yellow, mroon, orange, pink, purple, blue and many more. You kneel down in a patch of lilies and enjoy the scenery, staring out at the undisturbed, glasslike surface of the lake. Ionos disappears momentarily. You expect he's gone to find another Devi. There is a slight rustling in the bushes and something emerges. lone, one Devi makes its way to the water, completely unware of your presence. You take the opportunity to watch a Devi in its natural behavious. The blue/green Devi sits by the water's edge and dips its head for a drink. You move in for a closer look but a twigs snaps under your weight. Alarmed, the Devi turns around and flies off.
"To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet." Charles Caleb Colton |
